Quiz
The last film that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis did together before breaking up as a comedy team.

Blooper
Apparently, Tashlin was a little confused about Paramount's production schedule: Malcolm mentions having seen the Burt Lancaster adaptation of Il mago della pioggia (1956), which would not come out until after Hollywood or Bust was already released.

Citazioni
Steve Wiley: [referring to sexy movie star Anita Ekberg] Do I know her? She drives me crazy!
Malcolm Smith: [obviously excited] Me too!
Steve Wiley: She keeps coming to my back door and wants to borrow a couple of cups of sugar...
Malcolm Smith: Sugar? That's nice, yeah!
Steve Wiley: ...a couple eggs...
Steve Wiley: Oh, eggs! Good!
Steve Wiley: I go over to her place - I borrow a grapefruit or two...
Malcolm Smith: [aroused by the metaphor] Oh, that's cute!

Curiosità sui crediti
Dean Martin, standing in front of a stage curtain with a large world globe beside him, addresses the movie audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, this motion picture is dedicated to you - to you in this theater and to all refugees from television throughout the world. We in the motion picture industry would like to pay tribute to a most wonderful person. And here he is, the American movie fan." (A scene shows Jerry Lewis with a box tray full of popcorn, soft drinks and treats, eating and drinking while watching a movie).

last time for legendary pair

Malcolm Smith (Jerry Lewis) wins a car in a lottery but degenerate gambler Steve Wiley (Dean Martin) scams the contest with a counterfeit ticket. Malcolm is a dedicated fan of famed actress Anita Ekberg driving across the country to Hollywood. Steve pretends to be her neighbor and joins him on the drive. Steve fails to steal the car and they lose it to an armed old lady. They get the car back and pick up aspiring dancer Terry Roberts on her way to Vegas.

This is the final movie for this legendary pairing. Things got so bad that the guys barely conversed off screen. They are still very professional in their performances. I'm sure their split affected the critical reception at the time. This has the broad comedy and song singing that one expects from this duo. It is not that offensive except for the native stopover and various old fashion stuff. Much of it is a picturesque travelogue. It is not the deepest of movies but one wouldn't expect one here.
