• Buck Mansfield quotes twice from the Bible. The first occasion is when he is being pursued by his creditors and he reads from Proverbs 31:10 -12 and 21 (...Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies....). The second instance is when he speaks to the bartender at Vendig's function and the quote is from Obadiah 1: 2-4 (...Though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down ...).

• Terra Distributors' VHS copy is a truncated version, running only 86 minutes, not the full 104 minutes.

• One of thirty feature films produced between 1946 and 1948 whose financial failure resulted in their ownership being taken over by Bank of America for non-payment of loans, and subsequently sold to Mundus Television in 1954 for television broadcast at a reported total of $45 million.
