Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Judy Canova was a genuine vaudeville yodeler who parlayed her hayseed persona into B-movie stardom; this was her second WAC comedy after 1951's 'Honeychile'.
The WAC (Women's Army Corps) films of this era softened military service into domestic comedy, making female enlistment palatable to postwar audiences nervous about shifting gender roles.
