This is one of those many films that was made entirely on the Universal Studios Backlot, which, in this story stood-in for 1930s Chicago. Many of the locations have been seen before and since. "The diner in which Hooker meets Lonnegan is the same diner interior used in the 1985 movie Back to the Future, in which Marty McFly first meets his father and calls Doc Brown, and re-used as the interior for the Cafe 80s in the sequel, Back to the Future Part II."
