Harry Bailey is not "shown jumping from a plane with other paratroopers". He is shown in the Ready Room of his aircraft carrier, (the walls and door of which are decidedly not shaped like the interior of a troop transport airplane) going through the exit to the flight deck to his fighter plane. He and the other fighter pilots wear padded cloth aircrew helmets with radio headphones and goggles, not "steel pots" like paratroopers would, and there is no overhead static jump line at the doorway to which paratroopers' parachutes would be hooked up to.
A ringing facsimile of the Liberty Bell (without the crack) forms the backdrop for the studio logo, which is Liberty Films, and the opening credits are in a scrapbook with Christmas decorations. The bell reappears before the end credits, and the end credits have a Christmas card picture as a backdrop.
The film was colorized three times. The first colorized version of the film was produced by Hal Roach Studios (now Sonar Entertainment), the second by Republic Pictures. A third colorization of the film was produced by Legend Films for Paramount, the film's current copyright holder, in 2007.
