The car Deputy Follett drives is a 1951 or '52 Dodge Coronet 4-door sedan. Those two model years are practically identical because Chrysler was too busy fulfilling orders from the military for the Korean War to bother with any restyling of the Cornet for 1952.
This film did poorly at the box office, resulting in a loss to MGM of $110,000 (about $1.19M in 2023) according to studio records.
The car Partain drives is a 1950 Ford Custom convertible.
This film features two actors who would become best known on television for playing Southern US sheriffs in the late 1970s and early 80s. Both would reprise those roles in spin-offs. Claude Akins played Sheriff Elroy P. Lobo from 1978-1981 on the shows B. J. and the Bear, The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (later renamed Lobo). James Best played Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane from 1979-1985 on The Dukes of Hazzard, The Dukes, and Enos.
Partain tells his wife he wants more than a "$200 honeymoon". That amount would equate to nearly $2,000 in 2021.
