Producer Sol M. Wurtzel paid Marilyn Monroe $125.00 for a week's work.
Originally slated to play a "secretary" she only worked one day and played a walk-on as a waitress.
This was the first film in which Scotty Beckett and Dickie Moore appeared on screen together. They had previously appeared in several movies where they played younger and older versions of the same character. (For example, in Heaven Can Wait (1943), Scotty played the hero, Henry Van Cleve, at age 9, while Dickie played him at age 14, and Don Ameche played him as an adult.) Also, Scotty had previously replaced Dickie as George 'Spanky' McFarland's sidekick in the "Our Gang" series.
Four early Marilyn Monroe appearances were in films which failed to garner contemporary New York Times reviews: this movie, Ladies of the Chorus (1948), Home Town Story (1951) and Love Nest (1951).
