Did you know

• In one sequence Red Skelton's character is trapped inside a house by a large dog. He escapes by removing the hinge pins from the door, picking up the door and, as the dog comes inside he holds the door between them and goes out. Red said that they had written themselves into a corner and could not come up with a way for him to get out. They were going to scrap the scene when Buster Keaton visited the set, took one look and told them how to do it.

• While performing poolside, bandleader Xavier Cugat draws a large caricature of himself, something he was well practiced in doing. He had been a cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times.

• In one sequence Red Skelton's character appears in a tutu. In a later interview, Red said it was uncomfortable because he had to have his chest, back and underarms shaved for this costume.
