When Lou Costello is mistaken for a male model and forced to strip, there is a very visible bandage on his right arm; that was to mask the bracelet containing the name of his baby son, who died in 1943, which the comic had welded closed so it could never be removed.
This film was regarded as a major departure for Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. It was their first situation comedy, and the comedy was character-/situation-driven rather than gag-driven.
This was the first Bud Abbott and Lou Costello feature in which they did not play a team. The story centers on Costello's character, while Abbott doesn't appear until 16 minutes into the film. This was because the two were in the midst of a terrific feud and did not speak to each other outside of the film. They do not share a scene until 20 minutes into the picture.
June Vincent was originally cast as Ruby, but the role eventually went to Brenda Joyce.
During the railroad car scene, when the train porter asks Benny Miller (Lou Costello) what his berth is, Benny begins to reply March 6th before he gets cut off. Lou Costello's birthday was March 6th, 1906.
"Benny Miller: Lady, I come to sell you something you don't want. Woman: NO! [slams the door on him]"
"Benny Miller: Do you mind if I have a piece of candy while I wait on you? Hazel Temple Morrison: Aren't you worried you're going to wear your teeth down to the bones? Benny Miller: What? Hazel Temple Morrison: You ate three packages of cracker jacks, two bags of peanuts, one of those red gooey apples on a stick, and three chocolate malked milkshakes. Benny Miller: And don't forget the banana split, with a lot of fruit on it!"
