Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film has two oddly prophetic connections to the late The Wizard of Oz (1939). It features both Judy Garland and Jack Haley, who would later become Dorothy and the Tin Man. Also, Haley's line "I haven't got a brain" presages the theme song for his "Oz" co-star Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow). See more » |
| Goofs | The last name of Elisha Cook Jr.'s character is spelled "Van Dyke" in the end credits. However, every time it is seen on-screen during the film, e.g. on the pamphlets he hands out, it is spelled "Van Dyck." See more » |
