Phil Carey's deep voice, tall stature and sexy bearing made him one of the most ubiquitous actors in Hollywood's B-film stock company. He played occasional second leads in top-line pictures such as Calamity Jane (1953), but is perhaps best remembered for his perfectly nuanced turn on TV's "All in the Family" as an old war buddy who turns the tables on Archie Bunker's notions of masculinity by coming out as homosexual in the midst of their climactic arm wrestle.

Blake Edwards was originally signed to direct.

This was Betty Garrett's first and last dramatic role. Aside from this film, she appeared only in lighthearted musicals. By the time she made the film, her career had been severely impacted by the McCarthy hearings blacklist, purely by association -her husband was Larry Parks, one of the hardest-hit of McCarthy's sacrificial lambs.

Only film appearance of Gerald Sarracini. After a Christmas Eve 1957 performance as Romanoff in the Broadway production of "Romanoff and Juliet", he was walking with a friend when they were assaulted by group of men. He died from his injuries two days later.

Only credited performance in a full-length feature of Australian-born actress Doreen Woodbury. A dancer who was being groomed for stardom by Columbia Studios head Harry Cohn as competition for the then-reigning queen at the studio, Kim Novak. While in dance rehearsals for Pal Joey (1957), Woodbury unexpectedly committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills, which columnist Dorothy Kilgallen reported was probably due to being jilted by a professional comedian who moved to Miami after he saw the headlines about her suicide. Kilgallen herself died in November 1965 under mysterious circumstances from what was an alleged overdose of alcohol and barbiturates.
