Although it was trimmed down from 75 minutes to 63, this film was Fox's third biggest grosser of the year and #20 on the list of the 50 top moneymakers of 1943.
The revolving bar set at Matt Briggs' house was left over from the W.C. Fields temperance scene from 1942's Six destins (1942). As the sequence was eventually cut, Fox was able to utilize the standing set for this film.
Several cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): William Haade and Jack Stoney (Truck Drivers), Arthur Space (Director), Jay Wilsey (Stage Driver) and Chick Collins (Bus Driver). One truck (causing an accident) was seen, but the driver was hidden. The bus had an unidentified female driver. A modern source lists Hallam Cooley as the Barker, but that role was played by Brooks Benedict.
In the opening scene the sign on the building says "'Arthur Hurry' school of dancing" - a take-off on the real dancing master Arthur Murray.
