Trivia
After Frank Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, other songwriters protested because Loesser originally had written it in 1944 as a duet for himself and his wife to sing at parties, and they argued that it, therefore, should not be counted as an "original" song. The Academy, though, ruled that since the song never had been performed professionally before it appeared in the film, it was eligible, and it went on to win the award.

Goofs
Throughout the movie Mel Blanc's character is referred to as Julio, but in the cast credits at the end of the film his name is Pancho. Pancho, in fact, is another character, a stablehand who has only a line or two.

Quotes
José O'Rourke: Hasta la vista! In your language, that means adios, amigo.

Fun

Hey, this is a topper. One of the best of WILLIAMS swim films, mainly because it has the great Betty Garrett. Her scenes are wonderful, and she and Red Skelton are wonderful together. The Red and Betty seduction scene where he's trying to act like a Spaniard is sensational and wait until he tastes Garretts appetizer. Sheer genius. The new DVD copy is terrific, sharp and clear. Yes, its MGM's clean-cut studio bound movie, but it's what MGM did best. Haven't seen the other WILLIAMS movies in the collection yet, but am looking forward. Also looking forward to another volume and hope that her best, yet under-rated SKIRTS AHOY is included. See this for pure fun.
