This was the first film that Leo Gorcey made after the death of his father Bernard Gorcey (who played Louis). Leo left the series and this was his last starring role.
The aircraft depicted as flying the boys to Las Vegas is an American Airlines Douglas DC-7, named "Flagship Canada", registration N324AA. It was built in 1954, one of 338 built by Douglas from 1953 to 1958. This airplane remained in service with American until 1959. It saw further service with Lebanese International Airways from 1963-4, and then went to Royal Jordanian Airlines. On June 5, 1967 it was destroyed on the ground at Damascus International Airport by an Israeli air raid during the Six-Day War.
The 41st of 48 Bowery Boys movies released from 1946 to 1958.
Leo Gorcey was fired on the set during the making of this film. He was drunk. Many film fans say that this is obvious. Hall met with Gorcey after filming was completed trying to convince him to return sober: or "you'll end the franchise!" Due to his father's death (remember, Bernard Gorcey played Louie in this films), Leo was an emotional mess. Hall's later interviews and Gorcey's son's book cover this incident in more detail. The ending of the film uses Hall alone. It doesn't make much sense; their star was gone, the script had to be changed, the budget was low as usual, and they were running out of time. Fans regard this as the last of the true Bowery Boys movies.
