The other five actors that Warner had bemoaned having to pay for not working were Edmond O'Brien, Virginia Mayo, Dane Clark, Viveca Lindfors and Richard Rober. By the time Backfire was rolled out, O'Brien and Mayo were riding high on the success of Raoul Walsh's
White Heat
(1949), in which they played the federal antagonist and untrustworthy moll of psychotic gangster James Cagney. To promote Backfire, the Warners publicity team cooked up the tagline "The
White Heat
girl turns it on again!" but the blonde actress is strictly peripheral here, given little to do until the third act, and plays not a femme fatale but a pure-hearted VA nurse. Broken up as a series of interlacing recollections and deathbed confessions, the film toggles uneasily between MacRae's story in the present and O'Brien's backstory as the goon of a shadowy underworld figure whose Austrian chanteuse girlfriend (Lindfors) makes a play for him, inviting doom upon their heads.
