ā¢ Bob Burns was known for a bizarre musical instrument that he invented and which he plays in this film. It's basically a long tube with a cone on the end called a "bazooka." GIs in WW2 took this name for the rocket firing anti-tank weapon, since it resembled the instrument.
ā¢ American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films, 1941-1950, erroneously lists the release date as 1 January 1944, instead of the correct date of 1 January 1945.
ā¢ "The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30-minute radio adaptation of the movie on February 12, 1945 with Dinah Shore, Randolph Scott and Bob Burns reprising their film roles.
