Trivia:
An old nitrate copy of this comedy short, without any credit titles at the start, was recently identified in the collection of the Danish Film Museum. The movie turns out to have been re-used in three later feature-length compilations, _Birth of a Star (1945)_, _Sound of Laughter (1962)_, and "Danny Kaye" [biography] in the "American Masters" series for PBS-TV (1997). After the latter inclusion, Maurice H. Zouary's Movietronics company sued PBS, claiming that PBS had included footage from "Cupid" in its Kaye biography without obtaining a license from Movietronics (which claimed ownership of "Cupid"). more
