[edit] Trivia
- It was filmed from February 27 through March 25, 1952.
- Since Universal wouldn't spend the money to make an Abbott and Costello film in color, they decided to do it themselves. Using the agreement with Universal that they could make one independent film per year, they made this film using Abbott's company, Woodley Productions and their first color film, Jack and the Beanstalk, using Costello's company, Exclusive Productions.<ref>Furmanek, Bob and Ron Palumbo (1991).

- It was re-released in 1960 by RKO Pictures.
- Shortly after filming was completed, on April 6, Abbott and Costello hosted an episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour and brought Laughton along as a guest. Later that year, the three of them filmed a two-minute commercial together for Christmas Seals.
