Trivia
This was originally a Cole Porter musical, but the songs were omitted from the film because box-office receipts for musical films at that time were down.

Errores
When Jack realizes he lost Lu Lu's phone number, she had just gone into her hotel a few seconds earlier. Considering how very anxious he was to connect with her, Jack should've had no qualms about simply following Lu Lu inside and asking for a replacement card, especially since the film later implies that Jack was also staying at that hotel.

Citas
Jewish Tourist's Wife: Mister, will you kindly tell us where is the house of Victor Hugo?
Jack Forbes: Victor Hugo, the man who wrote the movie "The Man Who Laughs"?
Jewish Tourist: Yes.
Jack Forbes: I never heard of him.

Sometimes funny, sometimes painful

Hardcore fans of Olsen and Johnson and/or Bela Lugosi will need no persuading, but others may find Fifty Million Frenchmen a pretty heavy slog. It's one of those early talkies where the actors hadn't quite figured out how to adjust their body language or their vocal intonations to suit the new medium, and it's at times awkwardly paced and badly shot. Nonetheless there are some inspired moments of Olson and Johnson lunacy, especially when the boys disguise themselves as the assistants of a stage magician and end up on stage performing a deadly sword trick. The romantic subplots are unnecessary and uninteresting and Johnson's maniacal laughter soon gets irksome.
