Interesting facts

I Live on Danger is a 1942 American film noir thriller film directed by Sam White and starring Chester Morris and Jean Parker.

Production

The film was based on a story called I'll Be Back in a Flash by Alex Gottlieb. He sold it to Pine Thomas Productions in August 1941. They bought it as the second in a three-picture deal Chester Morris had with Pine-Thomas Productions. Lewis Foster was assigned to write the script.

Morris' 38-year-old brother Arthur was meant to play a role in the film but died shortly before filming of a brain haemorrhage.

Jean Parker signed to make the film as the first in a three-picture deal she had with Pine Thomas.

Filming took place in December 1941. Though reported as being Anna Q. Nilsson's first role in 13 years, this isn't even remotely true, as she had numerous appearances, both credited and uncredited, in films throughout the 1930s and early 1940s.
