Julian Street's short story, "Mr. Bisbee's Princess," won the 1925 O'Henry prize for comedy.
Although credited as "Bessie", Louise Carter's character is called "Abigail" in the film.
Charlie Bogle, the name of one of Fields' cronies in "You're Telling Me," was used by the comedian as a pen name in four of his screenplays.
Fields' character Bisbee describes a possible scenario involving catching burglars in the basement and drinking with them, a scenario that would be played out in a later film, Man on the Flying Trapeze.
One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and was not televised until many years afterward.
The film's climactic golf skit is taken right from Fields' vintage stage routine and his first sound short, The Golf Specialist.
