• Richard M. Sherman had reservations about whether Fred MacMurray was right for the part of Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, but Walt Disney overruled him.
• The phone booth from the film is now at Disneyland Park's Club 33 and is fully functional. Guests can make calls free of charge. The club also boasts a grandmother clock from the film atop which the beloved Alfred animatronic sits.
• The last live-action film that Walt Disney worked on. At the time of his death, the crew had completed principal photography, but post-production had not begun. It was with this film that the studio's trend of subjecting its live-action musicals to wholesale cuts began. Radio City Music Hall, the site of the film's New York premiere, had a Disney-themed Christmas stage show and demanded cuts to accommodate it.
