Question 1

Why did the Breen Office change the sound of the body-disposal device?

The Breen Office ordered changes to the film, including replacing the original grinding sound of the device used to dispose of body parts with a flushing toilet sound, because the grinding was considered too horrific.

Question 2

What was the original title of this film and why was it changed?

The black falcon statuette from 'The Maltese Falcon' (1941) was used by the Warner Bros. prop department as part of the set of this film.
