Several cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): William Haade and Jack Stoney (Truck Drivers), Arthur Space (Director), Jay Wilsey (Stage Driver) and Chick Collins (Bus Driver). One truck (causing an accident) was seen, but the driver was hidden. The bus had an unidentified female driver. A modern source lists Hallam Cooley as the Barker, but that role was played by Brooks Benedict.
The revolving bar set at Matt Briggs' house was left over from the W.C. Fields temperance scene from 1942's Tales of Manhattan. As the sequence was eventually cut, Fox was able to utilize the standing set for this film.
