Reportedly one of only two 3-D films shot in three-strip Technicolor, the other being "Flight to Tangier (1953)."
Apparently when filmed in early 1953 the aspect ratio was intended as 1.37. Then there is evidence, in a dvdtalk.com review, that it was released as a "Panoramic Screen" film in 1.66:1 format. 1953 was the year that widescreen started, and 1.66 was the basic shape of "Paramount"'s VistaVision.
Pat Crowley's movie debut.
Jerry Lewis got his start in show business doing what was known as a "record act"--comically lip-synching to a phonograph record. He does a portion of it during the serenade sequence.
According to an August 1953 Hollywood Reporter news item, producers
Hal B. Wallis and Joseph H. Hazen made the film independently, before a distributor was in place. In late June 1953, Wallis and Hazen dissolved their company, Hal Wallis Productions, through which they had made many films for Paramount release.
