Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's final Hollywood movie. According to L&H biographer Scott MacGillivray, 20th Century-Fox offered to keep its "B" movie department open for the pair, but they declined to do any more movies for Fox.
Because the "B" unit at Fox was closing down, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy had less studio interference and, consequently, more artistic freedom than they had in their previous five Fox efforts.
After Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy won the Rodriguez Good Neighbor Scroll, a popularity award in Mexico, Fox wanted to put them in a story set in that country. It never came about.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's tit-for-tat egg routine with Carol Andrews is a direct lift from their similar routine with Lupe Velez in Hollywood Party (1934).
After Joan Bennett balked at appearing opposite George Raft in Nob Hill (1945), the studio brought her into line by threatening to cast her in the Margo Woode role in this film. Bennett reportedly later wished she had done this film instead of "Nob Hill".
