In the mirage sequence the skeleton is voiced by Candy Candido, who would team up with Bud Abbott after Lou Costello died.
Filming was originally scheduled to begin in December 1949, but was postponed when Lou Costello had to undergo an operation for a gangrenous gall bladder in November 1949. Despite having a stunt double, Costello did his own wrestling in the film, only to be rewarded with a wrenched arm socket and a stretched tendon.
Douglass Dumbrille plays a corrupt Arab sheikh, just as he had done in Abbott and Costello's other Middle Eastern spoof, "Lost in a Harem (1944)."
One of the few instances where the boys used their real first names.
The professional wrestling element of the story was used because professional wrestling had become a sensation in those early years in that new medium of television. Some famous professional wrestlers were cast in the film.
"Bud Jones: What's the idea of teaching midgets to wrestle? Lou Hotchkiss: They're for those small television sets."
"Bud Jones: Slave girls. Lou Hotchkiss: Slave girls? Bud Jones: Slave girls. Uh, a girl you take home. She cooks for you. She sews for you. She does all of your washing and she's yours for the rest of your life. Lou Hotchkiss: Ahh. Bud Jones: In Algiers, they call them slave girls. Lou Hotchkiss: In America, we call them wives."
