Richard M. Sherman had reservations about whether Fred MacMurray was right for the part of Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, but Walt Disney overruled him.

The last live-action film that Walt Disney worked on. At the time of his death, the crew had completed principal photography, but post-production had not begun. It was with this film that the studio's trend of subjecting its live-action musicals to wholesale cuts began. Radio City Music Hall, the site of the film's New York premiere, had a Disney-themed Christmas stage show and demanded cuts to accommodate it.
During the opening song there's a bit of business showing a man and woman each walking their respective dogs and getting tangled up in the leashes. This is an inside joke reference to an identical moment in the earlier Disney film 101 Dalmatians.
After the film's initial release, this film went unseen for many years, without a theatrical re-release or even a TV screening on The Magical World of Disney (1954), until the 144-minute version was first released on video in the US in 1983.

Drexel Biddle: Well you know what they say about people who talk to themselves. [starts to walk away then turn and peers at the camera again] John Lawless: [winks at the camera]"
"John Lawless: Now there's a gorgeous sight! Are you getting ready for a party, Mrs. Worth? Mrs. Worth: [seriously] No, Mr. Biddle's on a chocolate cake diet. John Lawless: I beg your pardon? Mrs. Worth: He says it's the perfect food, containing "every essential element.""
