Anecdotes
Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s duck voice is done by Clarence Nash. He was the original voice of Donald Duck and did it for 50 years, as well as Daisy Duck, Donald''s nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie and many other characters. He also did many of the bird sounds for The Tiki Room at Disneyland.

Gaffes
Some people believe that when Bert greets his parents-in-law at breakfast, he says, "Morning Ma!" to his mother-in-law, then "Hello Kibbee!" to his father-in-law Dennis Garret, played by Guy Kibbee. However, what he actually says is "Hello, Skippy."

Based on fact?

Does anyone know whether this movie is based on the Mary Astor case? Poor Mary, like the actress in the movie, had parents who sponged off her something rotten. They lived in a mansion she bought for them and, no matter how much money she gave them, spent it and demanded more. After she tried numerous times to curb their extravagance (she was spending more on them than on her own family), the case ended up in court, where the judge took Mary's side. After her parents' death, Mary discovered diaries in which her mother had written viciously about how much she hated her.

Given that the court case took place four years before this movie appeared, and that portraying parents as evil is highly unusual for Hollywood, especially in a musical comedy, it seems that this element of the movie was inspired by Astor's troubles, but does anyone know for sure?
