At the start of the credits it says: "Al-Ittihad Films extends its great thanks and deep appreciation to the Minister of the Interior and to the commanders, officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the various police units, without whose sincere cooperation and actual participation in producing this film, it could not have been made in the best possible form. Al-Ittihad Films hopes that, for its part, it has succeeded in achieving its aim in producing this film: to introduce people to the policeman and the heavy burdens placed on his shoulders; to show them that the policeman is a human being like them, who loves and hates like them, is happy and miserable like them, laughs and cries like them, except that his work and duty often prevent him from yielding to his human emotions, which makes some people think he is made of a different clay from theirs... But if they knew the motives behind his actions as they truly are, they would honor him, love him, and help him carry out his mission, which is summed up in this: the policeman is in the service of the people and the nation.".
Zaky meets Attia, and they talk about the time Attiya was his sergeant in the army, in reference to Ismail Yassine Fel-Geish, which was produced the year before this film (1955).
Gamalat's Mother asks her daughter about Zaky and says: "شوفي بيعط فين بقية الساعتين دول", which shows that the colloquial word "عَط" is not a recent coinage.
The film begins on the eve of Eid.

Zaky transfers from service as a patrol soldier, then to investigations, then the fire brigade, then emergency police.
The price of Saniya's Father's medicine: 480 piastres.

Some words do not match the mouth movements, such as the first scene where Zaky talks to Abdel-Badea on the building stairs, the scene where The Officer speaks during the patrol lineup, and several scenes on the building stairs.
After Abdel-Badea's house is robbed and Zaky goes with Assistant to tell Attia in front of the cabaret, we see The Assistant with his arms folded, but in the next shot his fingers are visible on his other arm, which they were not in the earlier shot.
