It featured the longest kiss in film (lasting three minutes and five seconds), between Toomey and Wyman,[1] until 1988.[2]

The film's climactic gag, a cabin dangling over a cliff edge, appears to have been liberally borrowed from Charlie Chaplin's feature film The Gold Rush.

The film's copyright was renewed in 1969.[3]
