Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This launched a 27-film series — that's more movies than Bond actors. Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake played these roles for twelve years.
Dagwood's iconic sandwich originated in the comics in 1936 — two years before this film, and he's still making them wrong on purpose in pop culture today.
