 While the film suggests that Bugsy Siegel (qv) and Virginia Hill  first meet on the movie set, they had actually met several years  earlier in real life. At the time, Hill was dating Joe Adonis  (portrayed as Joey A. by Lewis Van Bergen (qv) in this film) when  she and Bugsy had an affair, thus explaining the animosity Bugsy and  Joey have for one another throughout the film.
