Wissenswertes
This film was a hit at the box office, earning "RKO" a profit of $400,000 ($5.98M in 2019) according to studio records.

Patzer
After a number with Tommy and Gilbert, Annette jumps off the roof of the car, expecting to be caught by the pair, but isn't. She lands on her posterior beside the car. In the next shot, when one of the MPs run up, she's in the same position but much further from the car.

Zitate
Annette Marshall: Are you married?
Tommy Turner: No, I just naturally look worried.

Crazy Credits
Opening credits are shown over a battlefield scene, with barbed wire.

The old masters,

Wheeler and Woolsey are two of my favorite comedians from this era. You just never know what to expect. This takes place in France during World War I, and while there is always an expected amount of sexual innuendo in their movies, (and in a lot of movies made before the codes) this one has the most I've seen yet. Ex. Cute innocent Dorothy Lee says to the boys she's about to turn in as A.W.O.L. for reward "I expect to make $500 from both of you tonight." to which Woolsey exclaims to Wheeler, "You're in Paris now boy"! Don't even get me started on Leni Stengel as the exotic Olga. I found this movie very enjoyable, even when things invariably get silly.
