  • Acting for Two: Per standard with Looney Tunes though surprisingly not by Mel Blanc (who only voices Jerry Colonna here) but by teenaged prodigy Kent Rogers, who voices all the other male caricatures in this short. Sara Berner in turn voices all the female ones.
  • Deleted Scene: Caricatures of Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn were made but ultimately not used in the final film. There is also an unused scene of Gary Cooper bent double to dance with little Shirley Temple; a production cel is online.
  • Revised Ending: According to the IMDB, the ending originally had Clark Gable, after realizing the blonde he'd been going after all through the film was Groucho Marx, address the camera with "I still want what's coming to me, and I'm gonna get it!" and kissing Groucho; reportedly Gable objected to the Ho Yay and asked it be removed. Stills/footage of Gable facing the camera and saying "I'm a bad boy!" Lou Costello-style exist, but not the reputed kiss.
