 On the DVD commentary, director Frank LaLoggia says that he got the  idea for using the song "Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?" (which  is a significant plot element in the movie) from hearing it in the  Eddie Cantor movie "Roman Scandals." Actually, this song does not  appear in the Cantor film, it was written for the musical "Sitting  Pretty." Both "Roman Scandals" and "Sitting Pretty" were released in  1933.
