    • Trivia
      Film debut of Anthony Quinn.
    • Goofs
      As Ann Westley says, "This program is coming to you through the courtesy of Amalgamated Gas,", the word "amalgamated" does not match her lip movements and is clearly spoken by different voice. (approx. 24:55 into the film, NTSC)
    • Quotes

      Burleigh Sullivan: Mr. Sloan, what is color?

      Gabby Sloan: What's what?

      Burleigh Sullivan: Color. That stuff you was talkin' about on the radio. That I got!

      Gabby Sloan: That's what gets a guys name in the newspapers.

      Burleigh Sullivan: Like what, for instance?

      Gabby Sloan: Like what? What?

      Burleigh Sullivan: I mean like who, for instance.

      Gabby Sloan: It's what makes a man stand out from a crowd. It makes him talked about. Dizzy Dean's got it. Bobby Jones has got it. Amelia Earhart's got it.

      Burleigh Sullivan: And Mae West?

      Gabby Sloan: She's got it in a big way!

    • Crazy credits
      After the Paramount logo is seen, a cow's head is superimposed on the logo. The cow then moos in what appears to be a parody of the MGM Lion's roar. The image of the cow transitions to a photo book with images of cows in the background and the credits are printed on top. A hand pages through the book.

    A little gem
    I was fortunate enough to catch this at a private screening as I understand there was an attempt to destroy all copies when the remake with Danny Kaye was made. I have seen both and this version is far superior. Harold Lloyd is incredibly funny and his comic timing has to be among the best. If you get a chance, catch this one. 8 out of 10.
