Movie Quote(s):
  • Detective Roy Kincaid: What is this Group 1, Group 4 business? Dr. Mike Rhodes: Well, you see, medical science has discovered that human blood is divided into four different groups, #1 being the most rare and #4 the most common,. We must see to it that certain of these types are not mixed in the transfusion. Detective Roy Kincaid: Then would you say that whoever came into Rodgers' room to kill him was looking for #1 blood? Dr. Mike Rhodes: It's possible. That's why I think the coronor made a mistakre in his report, so do you mind if I make a test of these stains for myself? Detective Roy Kincaid: No, go ahead,, Doc. 1,2,4,7,11 - it doesn't matter to me. All I know is this poor guy's number was up!
  • Walter 'Wichita' Garrett: Maybe she's not dead. Editor: If she's not dead, they're playing a dirty trick on her because they're taking her over to Bixby's Undertaking Parlor. [to both Rhodes and Garrett] Editor: Now get out of here both of you! Walter 'Wichita' Garrett: Yes, sir! Editor: [angrily] And don't come back! [they leave] Walter 'Wichita' Garrett: [to Rhodes] I won't believe she's dead 'til I see it with my own eyes. Even then I won't believe it!
  • Dr. Mike Rhodes: Thank you very much. Walter 'Wichita' Garrett: Well, I hope to see you again sometime. Undertaker: I'm sure you will! [Garrett does a reactive 'take.']
  • Dr. Francis Flegg: Interesting stuff, blood.
Movie Trivia:
  • Boris Karloff was to star as Dr. X.
  • Humphrey Bogart said of this film: "This is one of the pictures that made me march in to [Warner Bros. studio chief Jack L. Warner] and ask for more money again. You can't believe what this one was like. I had a part that somebody like Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff should have played. I was this doctor, brought back to life, and the only thing that nourished this poor bastard was blood. If it had been Jack Warner's blood, or Harry's, or Pop's, maybe I wouldn't have minded as much. The trouble was, they were drinking mine and I was making this stinking movie."
  • When Walter 'Wichita' Garrett reviews the press clippings, two of them refer to "Eugene Xavier", the remainder refer to "Maurice Xavier."
