    • Trivia
      Interestingly, the two male leads are best remembered today for their roles in classic horror movies: Armstrong for King Kong (1933) and Foran for The Mummy's Hand (1940).
    • Quotes

      Betty Williams: Captain, just how do you rescue a girl from a fire?

      Capt. Smokey Shannon: Oh, just pick her up and walk out of the house with her.

      Betty Williams: And what do I have to do to get you to come up to my house?

      Capt. Smokey Shannon: Play with matches.

    • Crazy credits
      This is an extremely rare instance of the final shot dissolving into the end title, rather than a fade-out/fade-in, which was the custom in those days.

    a movie w/Ann Sheridan
    I have to second that first assessment I read. Ann Sheridan IS the only reason to watch this. However, it is also the reason TO watch it. Ann Sheridan might be the most underrated actress in motion picture history. She is always worth watching. Anything and everything she does is worth watching. This was made before she was being given significant roles which all changed with the James Cagney/Pat O'Brien classic, "Angels with Dirty Faces". That performance brought to the attention of Hollywood that she was much more than a pretty face. The three of them teamed up again in "Torrid Zone" and by then she was coming into her own. She had a tremendous off screen brother/sister repoire with Humphrey Bogart from their film "San Quentin". Although the media has consistently reminded everyone of Betty Grable as a pin-up during WWII, Ann Sheridan was right there with her.
