Trivia: Arnold Stang broke his left forearm just days before his scenes were shot.
Trivia: The Sid Caesar blowtorch scene was done 85 times before they got it right.
Trivia: Phil Silvers almost drowned whilst filming the scene when he drives his car into the river because he couldn't swim.
Trivia: The Three Stooges have a cameo as fire fighters at the airport where the twin engine plane makes an emergency landing.
Trivia: Peter Falk ad-libbed most of his dialogue in the cab scene.
Continuity mistake: In the last scene when they are all on the fire escape, there is one part where the landing nearly collapses and Sylvester is seen nearly flying off the landing. The next immediate shot shows Sylvester fighting for the ladder. He apparently climbed up the landing and crawled over a bunch of people in a fraction of a second.
Sylvester Marcus: I'm coming. That's what I'm here for. That's why you had me, Mama, to save you.
