Anecdotes
Co-stars Yvonne De Carlo and Miiko Taka do not make their initial appearances until the final twenty minutes of the film, and both scenes amount to little more than cameos.

Gaffes
Two of the character roles listed in the closing credits do not match their roles played in the film. Elga Andersen 'of Germany' plays the role of a representative from France, and Lilo Pulver 'of Switzerland' plays the Russian representative (appearing at about 45 mins) who collects data for an examination of the baby's national origin. Andersen's accent is closer to German than French, while Pulver's Russian accent is minimally passable.

Citations
Frank Larrimore: I once had a tough sergeant like you - he was shot from behind on the first day of combat!

Crédits fous
During closing credits, they display the country of birth for the various actresses - for example : Michèle Mercier of France, Elga Andersen of Germany.

Sputters and dies

This movie is an exercise in wasted talent. Bob Hope, who was so funny in the 40s and early 50s, sleepwalks through this film. He once used to toss off wisecracks and one-liners with body posture, facial expression, and voice intonation all adding to the impact. In this film, he seems encased in cement and bored. Another misfire: Lilo Pulver, the gorgeous, hilarious, sexy secretary (to James Cagney) in "One, Two, Three." is wasted. She was given a drab wig and mousy dress and mainly used to give Hope an opportunity to tell her that the USA is superior to the USSR. The rest of the cast shows no sparkle; the gags are old and performed with no verve. To bring this down to rock bottom, there are saccharine drenched parts.

This should be shown in screen writing classes to demonstrate how a comedy can be made to be insufferable.
