Barry Sullivan's daughter, Patricia Sullivan-Webb (known professionally as Patsy Sullivan, the teenager was the face of Yardley Cosmetics at the end of the Swinging Sixties), appeared as an extra in the theater scenes.
The title is based on the 'Laugh-in (1968)' catch phrase usually shouted by Judy Carne: "Sock it to me!" In response she would be drenched with a couple of buckets of water for comic effect.
Ann Marie states that 'seeing legs' in the theater went out with the Gold Diggers of '38. Actually, the correct title is Gold Diggers of 1937 (1936), the fifth movie in Warner Bros.' series of "Gold Digger" films, following the now lost films The Gold Diggers (1923) and Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929), as well as a remake of the earlier film Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) (which was the first to feature Busby Berkeley's extravagant production numbers) and Gold Diggers of 1935 (1935).
