The early works of film master Martin Scorsese are engraved with a distinct brand of the times. " Boxcar Bertha " sold well after its release, but Martin Scorsese didn't get the chance to direct a new film right away. He pitched his script, "Cruel Street," to others, but couldn't find an investor. Later, through a friend's introduction, he obtained $150,000 in funds from a young heir, and started work with the original crew of " Boxcar Bertha ". The film is not very well-known among Martin's films, and because the script cannot be changed and the schedule is fixed, Scorsese has little room for himself in this film.

Harvey Hall: She's got her skirt up, somewheres around her chin. I got a clear view up to the ol' kazoo. I finally get her home and she says, I swear to God, she says, "Deputy, I don't know how to thank you." And I says, "Why, honey, I believe you do!" So, I climb in the back seat, their seat, and she lies back, she puts her legs up, and she acts just like she was born to do it.
