Leo McCarey reportedly came up with the title for the film, having previously used it for an earlier directorial effort with Laurel & Hardy. The title was used again in 1942 for a Daffy Duck cartoon.
Quotes
Rufus T. Firefly:
Oh, uh, I suppose you would think me a sentimental old fluff, but, uh, would you mind giving me lock of your hair?
Mrs. Teasdale:
A lock of my hair? Wh-why, I had no idea.
Rufus T. Firefly:
I'm letting you off easy: I was going to ask for the whole wig.
