Some moviegoers complained about the amount of glass that was destroyed in Fred Astaire's solo dance number in the bar, as Americans had been contributing similar items for the war effort.
Fred says he learned to dance at Arthur Murray. Fred Astaire previously had been in a dispute with the Arthur Murray Dance Studio over the unauthorized use of his likeness.
Fred Astaire asks Joan Leslie if her boss, Mr. Harriman (Robert Benchley), has ever proposed marriage to her. She replies that he has attempted numerous times, but keeps getting sidetracked by discussion of things such as the "love life of a polyp". One of Benchley's earliest film roles was as Dr. Benchley in The Sex Life of the Polyp (1928), in which he lectures Women's Clubs on this interesting creature that can change its sex.
