Facts about
The actual undersea footage was shot in the Bahamas in the same location that was used for the silent 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Although Percy Helton was billed in the opening credits, his role (as a coach driver) was almost entirely eliminated; in the release version, he appears in only one shot (no dialogue), waiting for passenger Lukas to finish his interview with the reporters.
During his 'Whale of a Tale' tune, two of the girls Ned sings about are named 'Mermaid Minnie' and 'Typhoon Tessie'. Minnie and Tessie were the two girls on his arms at the beginning of the film - you can hear him shout their names at one point during the street brawl.
