Director Alexander Hall was borrowed from Columbia but had to leave to direct O Eterno Pretendente (1944) before this production was finished filming. Vincente Minnelli took over as director for the last three weeks of production, uncredited, which may account for so many of the listed actors being cut from the final print.
Many cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Howard M. Mitchell (Nicholas), Jacqueline Miller (W.U. Girl), Ralph Sanford (Policeman), John Sheehan (Policeman), Cliff Nazarro (Milkman), Phillip Terry (Whitley's Assistant), Lloyd Ford (Ethel's Husband), Rex Evans (Photo Insert of Hermann Göring), and Bobby Watson (photo insert of Adolf Hitler). (W.U. Girl undoubtedly stands for Western Union Girl, but no telegrams were seen delivered.) In a Hollywood Reporter news item, Arno Frey and Dudley Dickerson were listed as cast members, but they also were not seen.
As Bill moves out of the house, he tells Vicky to send him his ration books. The film takes place in 1944 when rationing for World War II was in effect.
The cute little mutt which interacts with Bill Whitley as he's gulping down multiple shots of vodka was a star in her own right. She, Daisy, had a recurring role as the family dog in Columbia Pictures' Florisbela (1938) series of movies, and was on loan from them to appear in this MGM production.
