The Scarlet Pumpernickel Facts
The bear playing the harp is a reference to Bea Benaderet's previous role in Looney Tunes as Mama Bear.
This is the only time where Mel Blanc voices Elmer Fudd.
The ending scene, in which Daffy shoots himself in the head, has been edited out of syndication... it simply cuts from the last frame (involving the expensive food) to Daffy laying down on the floor where he says, "It's getting so you have to kill yourself to sell a story around here." Other versions show a frame of the outside of J.L.'s office when Daffy pulls the trigger (the audience never sees the gun or the actual shooting).
Lady Melissa, though not seen in many other Warner Bros. cartoons, would later become a returning character on "Baby Looney Tunes".
