Always Leave Them Laughing

The "Fountain Pen Sketch" was taken from the hit musical "Make Mine Manhattan" that opened in New York on 15 January 1948 at the Broadhurst Theatre, 235 W. 44th St. and ran for 429 performances, and starred Sid Caesar. Max Showalter, who performs that specialty number in this movie, was also in that opening night cast playing the same role, as well as others.

After Kip meets with Eagen, a brief clip is shown of a train heading to Boston, with a Southern Pacific locomotive. The Southern Pacific Railroad served California and the south west, and would not have gone to Boston or anywhere in the northeast.
