Anecdotes
The screenplay was mistakenly nominated for an Academy Award for Best Story when the Academy nominating committee confused this title with the Bing Crosby - Grace Kelly - Frank Sinatra musical, La Haute Société (1956), released the following year. The story writers of this picture, Edward Bernds and Elwood Ullman, graciously declined the nomination.

Gaffes
Twig punches Sach through a bookcase, but when Sach and Slip pull him through, Twig isn't tall enough to stick either arm through the bookcase to reach Sach. Even if it could be explained that Twig stood on a ladder or platform (which is never said), visually it doesn't look right. The arm that punches Sach wears a solid black sleeve, while Twig wears a dark coat with a criss-cross pattern.

Citations
Terence Aloysius 'Slip' Mahoney: If you're a Jones, you most coitainly are not related to John Paul Jones 'cause you got no heart, no courage, no miles, no scruples. You ain't even got infinitesimal attitude! In words of one syllable -- you're a coward.
Horace Debussy 'Sach' Jones: Oh, you gotta admit, Chief -- cowards live a lot longer.

Half a Million Laughs

"Bowery Garage" General Manager, General Superintendent, and General Treasurer in overalls Leo Gorcey (as Terence Aloysius "Slip" Mahoney) finds his absent-minded mechanic Huntz Hall (as Horace Debussy "Sach" Jones) sleeping on the job. Waking the hapless helper only causes a car wreck. But, the vehicle's owner thinks Mr. Hall might pass for "Terwilliger Debussy 'Twig' Jones", the long-lost son and heir to a family fortune. Hall accompanies Mr. Gorcey and fatherly Bernard Gorcey (as Louie Dumbrowsky) to the Jones' Larchmont, New York estate...

David "Condon" Gorcey (as Chuck) and Benny "Bennie" Bartlett (as Butch) appear in the opening and closing scenes.

Perceiving Hall as an easy to control idiot, money-grubbing adults want Hall to claim his fortune from its rightful heir, young Ronald Keith (as Terwilliger Debussy "Twig" Jones III). Young Keith isn't going down without a fight, however. Hall and Gorcey in "High Society" leads to laughs, of course, with the latter's expectation they might meet a couple of "debu-tramps" and settle into the upper-crust treading a funny line. "The Bowery Boys" movie series had been sputtering in earlier years, but some of these final Gorcey-Hall team-ups are relatively smooth and successful, considering.
