Trivia
The gorilla was originally meant to be a female simian pursuing Costello. However, the Breen Office censors that enforced the Production Code in Hollywood demanded the gorilla's gender be changed as they felt a female gorilla's pursuit of a man would be on par with bestiality. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: Stanley's real eyebrows are visible and obviously covered with makeup during the high eyebrow raise scene. See more »Quotes
