Interesting facts

The Tattooed Stranger, originally titled Backtrail, is a 1950 American crime film noir directed by Edward Montagne and starring John Miles, Patricia Barry, Walter Kinsella, Frank Tweddell.

Production

In 1948, as a "sketch" for The Tattooed Stranger, producer Jay Bonafield and director Edward J. Montagne made a two-reel documentary short for RKO Pathe called Crime Lab, with roughly the same police-procedural plot.

The film features many New York location shots, many showing areas and structures that no longer exist, including elevated railroads, the Bowery when it was a derelict district and the dockside sections near the lower Manhattan bridges. Tobin and Mahan visit Fort Tryon Park with the George Washington Bridge visible in the background. Their investigation also leads them to Saint Raymond's Cemetery (Bronx).
