Wissenswertes
Mr. Sloan tells Henry to "bring 'em back alive", and to hire "Frank Buck" if necessary in relation to finding Gus before the mob gets to him. Sloan is referring to the real Frank Buck who was well-known at the time as a big-game hunter and a supplier of animals to circuses and zoos. The line "bring 'em back alive" was the title of his first best-selling book about his exploits.

The main and trip odometers on Lila's car read the same when she drives into Upper Tuxton and later when Henry drives the car there.

Zitate
Henry Twinkle: Mr. Sloan, about that raise...
Buckley Sloan: Yes, Twinkle?
Henry Twinkle: Well, under the circumstances, I don't think I'm exactly entitled to it.
Buckley Sloan: That's mighty white of you. Get out!

Lew Ayres stars with Rita Johnson, Lloyd Nolan, and Virginia Grey in "The Golden Fleecing," from 1940.

Ayres plays Henry Twinkle, a life insurance salesman who sells Gus Fender (Lloyd Nolan) a $50,000 life insurance policy. This impresses his boss, until he realizes that Gus Fender is a racketeer. His boss nearly has a coronary and tells Henry that he'd better keep Gus alive. Henry goes to Fender, and the two of them hatch a scheme where Henry puts Fender in jail and collects the $25,000 reward. He then is supposed to turn it over to Fender, who wants to make bail and get out of the country. That's where the problems begin.

Lew Ayres was very cute, and he's funny as a guy who just wants to marry his fiancé Mary (Rita Johnson) but becomes entangled with gangsters, with Mary becoming jealous of Fender's girlfriend (Grey).

Nothing special, with Fender's army of goofy associates, headed by Nat Pendleton, providing some comedy.
