George Formby's wife Beryl Formby was so jealous of his glamorous co-star Pat Kirkwood that she tried to sabotage Kirkwood's performance, insisting that she have her long hair cut short and dress in dowdy clothes. However, the cast and crew had the last laugh, when the final kiss was achieved by distracting Beryl with a telephone call and shooting the scene in one take.
The song "Pardon Me" was intended to be a duet between George Formby and Pat Kirkwood, but this was vetoed by Formby's wife Beryl Formby.
