Facts about The Time of Their Lives

This would be the first Bud Abbott and Lou Costello feature directed by Charles Barton, who is generally regarded as their best director.
When this film was scheduled to be shot, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were in the midst of one of their feuds, and were not speaking to each other.
