Anecdotes

Ava Gardner was scheduled to play Ivy, but she was replaced by Pamela Blake because of illness.

In a previous East Side Kids film, "Glimpy" was a family name, but here it's Huntz Hall's character's first name or nickname.

The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film; therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
