Facts about Cloak and Dagger

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. However, this movie was first released in September 1946 which was after the end of World War II, hence explaining why the OSS was mentioned in this movie.
This movie's opening prologue states: "This picture has been inspired by the amazing achievements of the OSS the Office of Strategic Services, but no part of it is intended as a portrayal of actual events. The story, names, characters and events depicted are wholly fictitious. If there is any similarity between them and any persons living or dead, or any events which may have happened, it is entirely coincidental."
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie onMay 3, 1948 with Lilli Palmer reprising her film role.
