 After several days of filming, director Windust, Bretaigne (qv)  fell seriously ill and was rushed to the hospital in critical  condition. Bogart, Humphrey (qv) asked his old friend, director  Walsh, Raoul (qv), to come in and shoot the picture until Windust  recovered. Unfortunately, Windust was more seriously ill than most  realized, and his recovery took several months, during which Walsh  finished the film. However, Walsh refused to take screen credit for  it, saying that the picture was Windusts big break and he wasnt  going to take it away from him.
