Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Robert Mitchum appears uncredited as a shady insurance salesman, just two years before becoming a noir icon in 'Out of the Past.'
This was Margaret Dumont's only film with Laurel and Hardy — she brought her signature 'dignified woman surrounded by chaos' energy from the Marx Brothers.
