      The $1,450 inheritance would equate to over $14,000 in 2019.
    • Goofs
      The hammocks that Groucho and William Bendix are shown lying in are not navy hammocks. Navy hammocks do not have the spreaders seen on the hammocks in this film. Navy hammocks were designed to take up as little space as possible, and without the spreaders, the hammocks are safer to use and more comfortable.
    • Quotes

      Benjamin Franklin 'Benny' Linn: [speaking of his closeness with a former girlfriend] We were as one. Maybe less than that.

    What a Disappointing Waste of Talent

    Groucho Marx and William Bendix deserve much better material than what they are given here. A bad script with unfunny jokes gives these two talents nothing to work with. Why they ever agreed to do this film is one of the great mysteries of Hollywood!
