Interesting facts
Fall Guy is a 1947 American crime film noir directed by Reginald LeBorg. The drama features Leo Penn, Robert Armstrong and Teala Loring. The film is based on Cornell Woolrich's short story, "Cocaine."
Production
The Fall Guy was shot in 10 days at Monogram Pictures studios, confirming director Reginald LeBorg "as one of the most cost- and time-conscious directors in the industry." This post-war noir, though atmospherically and plot-wise typical of the genre, is notable in that narcotics trafficking is central to the narrative.
LeBorg declared The Fall Guy one of his favorite pictures.
