エド・マクベイン
The film's screenplay, written by Henry Kane, is based on the novel of the same name by Evan Hunter (writing under the pen name Ed McBain). William Berke directed the film, the second of two adaptions of Hunter's 87th Precinct novels he released in 1958 (following "Cop Hater"). It was Berke's final completed film as a director; he died the same year.
