I've heard of the other cases, of course, but with Deadly is the Female/Gun Happy, there were two separate releases and two separate posters. In the case of Danger is my Beat, there is no reference to it ever being called that in the usual places one goes on the internet. The iMDB mentions an alternate title of Anchorage Dynamite. The ONLY place I see Danger is My Beat is on the poster so I think Jay's assumption about a name change before release is probably correct. The NSS numbers are the same.
