During the baseball game Red Skelton gets into an argument with "Durocher" from the other team. That other player was, in fact, the real life legendary baseball player and manager Leo Durocher. When this movie was made in 1943, Leo Durocher was a player/manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Among the 1943 Brooklyn Dodgers portraying themselves are future Baseball Hall-of-Famers Leo Durocher, Billy Herman, Joe 'Ducky' Medwick, and Arky Vaughan.
As the three are escaping the police and angry mobs and Carol realizes the cops are real, Chester says, "Ha! I dood it." That is a catchphrase of Red Skelton's radio (and later television) character, "The Mean Widdle Kid." The phrase was such a part of national culture at the time that, when General Doolittle conducted the bombing of Tokyo in April 1942, many newspapers used the phrase "Doolittle Dood It" as a headline. In 1943, Red Skelton made the movie "I Dood It".
Brooklyn Dodger players Max Macon, Alex Kampouris, Ray Hayworth, Pat Ankenman, Newt Kimball and Hal Peck were reported (by the New York Times) to be cast in the movie as baseball players, with some of them as "Beaver" players. A few of them had left the Brooklyn Dodgers by the time this film was released.
Third and last film starring Red Skelton as Wally "The Fox" Benton. The other two films were Whistling in the Dark (1941) and Whistling in Dixie (1942).
