Chicago Deadline is a 1949 American film noir crime film directed by Lewis Allen and starring Alan Ladd and Donna Reed. The film is based on the 1933 novel One Woman by Tiffany Thayer.

Production

The novel One Woman was published in 1933. Paramount bought the film rights and announced the following year they would film it as Are Men Worth It? starring Lee Tracy and Claudette Colbert. In 1935 the project was listed on Paramount's schedule with Colbert still attached. Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht were reportedly working on a script with Benjamin Glazer. No film resulted.

Donna Reed had just appeared opposite Ladd in Beyond Glory. She was borrowed from MGM again to play his co-star. Lewis Allen was assigned to direct.

Filming started on July 29, 1948, on location in Chicago. The title was changed from One Woman to Chicago Deadline in November.
