Quotes from

Ronnie Jackson: [soon to be executed] Remember, I'm doing this without a rehearsal.


Ronnie Jackson: You may not know this, but I wasn't always a detective. Before they pinned this murder rap on me I had one of the sweetest little set-ups in San Francisco.
Reporter: A legitimate business?
Ronnie Jackson: Better than legitimate. It was profitable.


Sam McCloud: I told you before, stick to watching the birdie and you'll die of old age.
Ronnie Jackson: Yeah, but I was cut out for this kind of life. All my life I wanted to be a hardboiled detective like Humphrey Bogart or Dick Powell or even Alan Ladd.

Facts about

Bing Crosby, Bob Hope's long-term co-star and rival in the Road movies, plays an executioner who is livid when he doesn't get to execute Hope's character. Hope fires back saying, "He'll do any kind of role" (at the time, Crosby was a top star - but here he was doing a one-scene cameo.)
On a Capitol Records 78, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour waxed two Jay Livingston-Ray Evans tunes: the romantic "Beside You," a Lamour solo in the film, and a comic-banter ditty named after the movie, although this number was not performed in the picture.
