Facts about
Due to military intelligence and secrecy reasons, American Hollywood Studios were prevented by the US Government from mentioning the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services) in movies during World War II. Alas, the OSS is not mentioned in this movie.
The film's director, producer, and one of the writers had worked previously on another spy film for the same movie studio (20th Century Fox) called The House on 92nd Street (aka Now It Can Be Told (USA)). Interestingly, both films utilized street addresses as their film titles.
The relevance of an address as this film's title is that '13 Rue Madeleine' is the address of German Nazi Gestapo headquarters in Le Havre, France during the Nazi German occupation of France in World War II and this is where the spy mission takes this film's heroes.
