[first lines]
Daffy Duck: You're killing me! I'm being murdered! I can't stand this torture anymore! I'm dying, you're killing me! I'm telling you, J.L., you're typecasting me to death - comedy, always comedy. Ha ha, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, yuk yuk! Honest, J.L., you just gotta give me a dramatic part.

Daffy Duck: [after jumping out the window and missing the horse] That's funny. That never happens to Errol Flynn.

The ending scene, in which Daffy shoots himself in the head, has been edited out of syndication... it simply cuts from the last frame (involving the expensive food) to Daffy laying down on the floor where he says, "It's getting so you have to kill yourself to sell a story around here." Other versions show a frame of the outside of J.L.'s office when Daffy pulls the trigger (the audience never sees the gun or the actual shooting).
The bear playing the harp is a reference to Bea Benaderet's previous role in Looney Tunes as Mama Bear.
Lady Melissa, though not seen in many other Warner Bros. cartoons, would later become a returning character on "Baby Looney Tunes".
