Trivia
Final film of Wallace Beery. He died of heart failure on April 15, 1949, three days after the release of this film, having been under contract to MGM for 19 years.

Goofs
At about 00:09:40 as Kate is feeding Big Jack from a bowl with a spoon, before Marjorie Main can get the spoon to Wallace Beery's mouth the third time he mistakenly puts his lips on the bowl instead of the spoon.

Quotes
Big Jack Horner: Put that thing away. No nice lady smokes a pipe on Sunday.

Wallace Berry,(Big Jack Horner),"Wyoming",'40, made this film his swan song and gave an outstanding performance as a slick wise old owl up to no good, but had a very kind heart for doing good for people and sometimes the opposite. Marjorie Main,(Flapjack Kate), was his sidekick or wife, and gave him a hard time whenever she could. I was surprised to see Richard Conte,(Dr. Alexander Meade),"Tony Rome",'67,who was the only person all dressed up and looking like a million dollars. Big Jack Horner and the other supporting actors all dressed like hillbilly's from them thar Hills!! If you like old time actors and the rough ways of Wallace Berry, his deep voice and slow speech, you will certainly enjoy the slap stick story from the past years. My dad use to tell me that Richard Conte's father use to be a barber in Jersey City, N.J., and cut his hair for $1.25. (Way back WHEN!)
