* CaliforniaDoubling: While all the exterior shots were filmed around the studio, a majority of the interior shots were filmed on soundstages. The only exception being the Multiplane Camera scene, since the camera was too heavy to be moved to a soundstage.

* ExecutiveMeddling: After the film, had been completed, RKO Radio Pictures requested that ''How to Ride a Horse'' be inserted into the film, replacing an animated sequence featuring Mickey Mouse. Disney complied and created a new negative, perhaps out of desperation for the film getting RKO's full backing and be a financial success, even though the Technicolor lab had already created 70 of the 180 ordered distribution prints.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As noted above, Benchley was originally to view a scene of a dancing Mickey Mouse before it was replaced by ''How to Ride a Horse''. The Mickey animation didn't go to waste, however; with slight alterations, it was utilized in the 1942 short ''Mickey's Birthday party''.
