This hard-bitten noir was the first major American film about murder for hire. Stage director Bretaigne Windust began shooting, but he quickly fell out of favor with the movie’s producers. Walsh finished the film but refused to take credit, reportedly so as not to damage Windust’s Hollywood career.

Well, yeah, a lot of people liked it. You know why? Because I panned it so much that everybody said, 'Gee, it can't be that bad.' And they looked at it and said, 'It isn't. I had somebody just the other day in Portland say to me, 'Gee, I saw The Horn Blows at Midnight and I liked it.' And I said, 'Well, you liked it because I didn't.' – Jack Benny
