Production notes
editThe musical numbers "Happy Landing" and "Dance Until Dawn" were lifted from the 1931 MGM feature film Flying High.[1]
The Stooges and Healy were to appear in a segment where they fly around the world backwards, but it was cut from the final version. This footage is discussed, with production photos, in Leonard Maltin's 1990 television documentary The Lost Stooges.[1]
