This film offers a rare glimpse at a contemporary 1949 television set, a bulky table model with a ten-inch rectangular screen, which commonly was required to be "set up" by qualified technicians who also needed to install an antenna on the roof before proper reception could be achieved. Commercial television broadcasts had begun in Los Angeles two years earlier in 1947 on KTLA (Channel 5).
Dennis Williams (Franchot Tone) drives a 1948 Studebaker convertible; Fred Bandle (Bruce Bennett) drives a 1942 Chevrolet coupe; Katherine Williams (Agnes Moorehead) drives a 1948 Packard.
