Desi Arnaz's autobiography suggests that the director of this film, Jack Hively, was a complete idiot who knew nothing about directing despite the fact that he was an editor before he took the job. Hively - despite not being mentioned by name in the book - would reportedly embarrass actors and put them through several long takes of the same monologues from the same angle knowing that there would have to be cuts to other angles made at some point.
Several cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Charles Arnt (Drunk), Mary Gordon (Landlady), 'Eddie Dunn' (Policeman) and Frank Mills (Policeman). In addition, James Burke and Matt McHugh were listed as cast members in some news items, but they were not seen in the movie either.
