Curiosidades
In 1950 it was common to have the TV in the windows of shop, turned on and its sound transmitted outside the shop via speakers. Not a lot of TV's were in homes and it was not uncommon to see crowds packed in front of TV stores watching Uncle Miltie and other popular shows at the time.

Pifias
The quiz program is shown as a TV show complete with cameras on set but is sometimes referred to as a radio show, so it must be broadcast simultaneously on both media.

Citas
Happy Hogan: You have five seconds to tell us the Japanese word for goodbye. 1... 2...
Beauregard Bottomley: Sayonara. Not to be confused with cyanide, which is, of course, goodbye in any language.

Créditos adicionales
Opening and closing credits run against a background of champagne bubbles.

Entertaining & Interesting

This offbeat comedy is both entertaining and interesting. Ronald Coleman is sympathetic and amusing as the meek genius who threatens to drive a popular quiz show out of business, the rest of the cast helps out quite a bit, and the story is pleasantly goofy and unpredictable. As a satire on the 50's quiz shows, it is even more interesting in light of the more recent trivia show fads.

Coleman's low-key approach works well as the trivia genius Beauregard, and he is complemented very well by the more exaggerated performances of Celeste Holm, Art Linkletter, and especially Vincent Price, all of whom get some fine moments of their own. While the story is deliberately over-the-top, it is set up well, and while it is meant solely as light entertainment, it does have a little substance in it, too. There's a lot to like, and it makes for an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half.
