- TriviaOne of the few times Lawrence Tierney played a good guy. He also was the hero in Step By Step; in both, he's the Wrong Man aka falsely accused of murder: having to prove his innocence to, by the end, find the real killer. He was also the hero in Bodyguard, the last movie he did before being fired by RKO. Ironically, he was on pretty good behavior on that set (but was fired for his past arrests); however, co-star Priscilla Lane also complained that Tierney could be difficult.

Featured review
MUMBO JUMBO IN THE JUNGLE
This film lost me when all the guys appeared for dinner in this mansion stuck in the middle of the jungle wearing white dinner jackets and ties while the woman of the house tinkered away on the grand piano. A bit out of place you might say. Also out of place was Lawrence Tierney in a role more suited to Cary Grant than the king of the tough guys. Lawrence excels as a gangster , why they tried to sell him off as a good guy defies logic!
