First film for The Ritz Brothers comedy duo since 1943. Originally conceived as a comeback film for The Three Stooges, which at this time consisted of Moe Howard, Joe DeRita and newcomer Emil Sitka. Howard was ill when production began (it turned out to be lung cancer, which became terminal), which was when the Ritz Brothers were brought in.
The precision dance routine, performed by Harry Ritz and Jimmy Ritz, was first seen in Chante, bébé, chante! (1936).
