- Spencer Tracy .... Saint Louis
- Claire Luce .... Judy
- Warren Hymer .... Dannemora Dan
- Humphrey Bogart .... Steve
- William Collier, Sr. .... Pop
- Joan Marie Lawes .... Jean
- George MacFarlane .... Jessup
- Robert Emmett O'Connor .... Warden

- Sharon Lynn .... Edith LaVerne
- Noel Francis .... Sophie
- Goodee Montgomery .... Kit

- John Swor .... Clem
- Louise Mackintosh .... Mrs. Massey
- Tracy had starred in three shorts earlier the same year and Bogart had been an unbilled extra in a silent movie a decade before, but this is the first credited feature film for both actors.
- This was the only feature film that close friends Tracy and Bogart ever made together. They tried to make The Desperate Hours two and a half decades later but neither would consent to second billing so the role intended for Tracy went to Fredric March instead.
- The lead actress in this film is not Claire Boothe Luce, a more famous contemporary.
