Wissenswertes

Under Cover Man is a 1932 American pre-Code crime film directed by James Flood and starring George Raft, Nancy Carroll and Lew Cody. It was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Production

The film was based on a novel by journalist John Wilstach which was published in 1931. The New York Times says "the book keeps pace with this morning's edition fairly well. Mr Wilstach merely blocks his crooks out in the rough. He lets action speak louder than style. There is a rather tarnished love interest. But the crookery is exciting."

Filming took place in October 1932. It was called "Raft's first important personal assignment."

It was the first time Raft played an undercover man. He would go on to play several more, even insisting scripts be changed so his character was an undercover man.
