Facts about
Lou Costello's practice of taking home props proved to be a major problem for the special effects crew. Some of the special effects shots required the sets and props to remain intact for shooting with, and without, the actors. Reportedly on one occasion when Lou removed a prop, it required two days of re-shooting for the special effects department.

Sondergaard's character is made to look like Judith Anderson's character in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Rebecca, and Sondergaard herself bears a striking physical resemblance to Anderson.
