The photo directly above shows Dick Haymes, Nina Foch and Gordon Parks, who appears to be shooting this one with a long cable release. Haymes is seen holding a medium format camera, possibly one belonging to Gordon Parks. The last photo down shows the film’s director, Edgar Ulmer, scratching his head as a crowd watches the filming. The other pictures, above and in between, depict the shooting of this little comedy on location near the mouth of the East River in a Lower Manhattan neighborhood that has since been largely cleared away and otherwise altered beyond recognition. (Dip is forties street slang for pickpocket.)
