Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's drill routine ran only 2-1/2 minutes in the script, but was allowed five minutes of screen time because of their ad-libbing. In fact, much of their dialogue in the film was ad-libbed.
During WWII the Japanese used to show the "Drill Routine" sequence from this movie to show how stupid the American army was.
Grossing over $4 million, this made more money than any film Universal Pictures had produced to that point.
This film took in $4 million (at a time when theater admission ranged between 10 cents and 25 cents), more than either Citizen Kane (1941) or How Green Was My Valley (1941).
This was the first of three consecutive film collaborations among Bud Abbott, Lou Costello and The Andrews Sisters.
"Slicker Smith: You're 40 years-old and you're in love with this little girl that's 10 years-old. You're four times as old as that girl and you couldn't marry her, could you? Herbie Brown: Not unless I come from the mountains. Slicker Smith: All right- you're 40 years-old, you're four times as old as this girl, and you can't marry her, so you wait five years. By that time the little girl's 15 and you're 45. You're only three times as old as that little girl. So you wait 15 years and when the girl is 30, you're at 60. You're only twice as old as that little girl. Herbie Brown: She's catching up. Slicker Smith: Yes, yes. Now here's the question. How long do you have to wait until you and that little girl are the same age? Herbie Brown: Now what kinda question is that? That's ridiculous! Slicker Smith: Ridiculous or not, answer the question. Herbie Brown: If I wait for that girl she'll pass me up. She'll wind up older than I am. Slicker Smith: What are you talking about? Herbie Brown: She'll have to wait for me! Slicker Smith: Why should she wait for you? Herbie Brown: ...I was nice enough to wait for her!"
"Slicker Smith: [Herbie mumbles something during a drill routine] What did you say? Herbie Brown: I'm just talking to myself. Slicker Smith: Well, don't talk so loud! Herbie Brown: Well, I gotta hear what I have to say."
