Trivia:

After the film was shelved, it was pretty much forgotten about and had been considered lost. But in 1996, editor Dann Cahn began searching for it. In 2001, he found it in a mislabeled film can in a vault. Clips of it can be briefly seen in I Love Lucy's 50th Anniversary Special (2001) (TV)

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the Silvery Moon song and dance number Lucy and Ethel do together, Lucy supposedly dropped her "drawers" by accident, however during the song when Lucy spins around she can be seen pulling a cord from her hoop skirt to release them.
