Anecdotes
This film reflects the acute housing shortage in the U.S. that existed for several years after World War II, as practically no residential construction occurred during the war and millions of returning servicemen and women looked to establish their own households.

Gaffes
When the wallpaper hangers and McNasty enter the apartment, a shadow of the boom microphone is visible on the wall, top of the frame.

Played during the opening credits and at the end

Joe and his wife are in a bind. Their awful landlord, Mr. McNasty, wants to evict them and put in tenants who are willing to pay his ridiculous prices. This is because during and just after WWII, there was a severe housing shortage and folks were stuck in a seller's market. The Joe McDoakes short is all about the many hoops Joe needs to jump through in order to get a new apartment...and at the end, he's paying $500 a month...a princely sum back in the 1940s!

This one has a lot of good gags. While all the McDoakes films were enjoyable and fun, this one is a standout because of the many excellent laughs as well as the silly ending. I don't want to say more...but this is among the best of the series.
