Facts about
Director Tex Avery was famous for his off the wall cartoons, which were aimed more toward adult audiences than children. Here, however, he pushed the limits of what was considered acceptable, and in several places the film was toned down in order to satisfy the U. S. censors. Original copies were kept and stored away. Shortly afterwards, the army visited MGM studio to view a propaganda movie. Upon seeing this cartoon, they requested (and received) special uncut 16mm prints to send to the soldiers overseas.
Grandma's neon sign that says "Come up and see me sometime" is borrowing a famous line from Mae West.
According to several accounts, upon the opening night of this film, it caused such an acclaim and commotion, that audiences demanded it be played again. The theater personnel were more than glad to oblige.
