Did you know

• The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film; therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

• This film's earliest documented telecast took place in Los Angeles 3/19/50 on KNBH (Channel 4).

• Snub Pollard, on of the "Soup Customers" Glimpy steals soup from, is usually credited with being the first to film the "Oyster Stew" routine, where the comedian battles a live oyster in his stew. Lou Costello and Curley Howard, among others, also preformed this gag on film.
