After this movie, the Internal Revenue Service charged Bud Abbott and Lou Costello for back taxes, forcing them to sell their homes and a lot of their assets, including the rights to their films. The two mutually agreed to officially end their partnership in July of 1957.
The final film pairing Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Costello made another film after this, The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock (1959), but without Abbott who never made another film.
Angela Cartwright, who would later play Rusty Hamer's sister in The Danny Thomas Show (1953), appears for 10 seconds at the amusement park, as the little girl eating cotton candy about a quarter of the way through the film.
The movie's title is taken from the hit song "Dance With Me, Henry" (also known as "The Wallflower") by Johnny Otis, Etta James and Hank Ballard, recorded by James in 1955 and [xxxxxx] in 1956, but the song is never performed in the film. Bits of its melody are quoted in Paul Dunlap's score for the final scene, though.
