 When this film was scheduled to be shot, Bud Abbott (qv) and  Lou Costello (qv) were in the midst of one of their feuds, and  were not speaking to each other. Consequently, the two have very few  scenes where they appear together. They were also feuding when they  began shooting _Little Giant (1946)_ (qv), which is why they also  have few scenes together in that picture.
