The film was initially refused a UK cinema certificate in February 1948 but was passed uncut 4 months later.
Jack Benny's last starring role.
Emma Dunn is in studio records/casting call lists for the role of "Mrs. Smith" in this movie, but she did not appear or was not identifiable.
The sequence toward the end, where the cast is at the side of the building and Benny battles the Paradise Coffee moving ad, was scored by Warmers composer Carl W. Stalling, using his trademark violin string up-slide twang sound and his paraphrasing of the work of Raymond Scott. Stalling was used to give the scene a Warner Brothers cartoon feel.
Adapted as a one-hour radio play for "The Ford Theater".
