Behind Green Lights is a 1946 American crime film directed by Otto Brower and starring Carole Landis, William Gargan and Mary Anderson.

Max Calvert, a newspaper owner, pressures Carson to arrest Bradley to hurt her father's election campaign for mayor.

Meanwhile, Carson interviews Bard's estranged wife, Nora, who is accompanied by her lawyer and boyfriend, Arthur Templeton.

Complications ensue when a prisoner pulls his own switch, taking the place of Bard's body to escape from the police station in an ambulance.

He went into the apartment, assumed Nora had committed the crime, and staged the fake suicide to protect her.
