        After the film was shelved, it was pretty much forgotten about and had been considered lost. But in 1996, editor Dann Cahn began searching for it. In 2001, he found it in a mislabeled film can in a vault. Clips of it can be briefly seen in I Love Lucy's 50th Anniversary Special (2001)
      • Goofs
        After the Ricardos and Mertzes make up following Lucy and Rickys attempt to break their lease, the next scene opens with a shot of a chalkboard with the words Rehearsal Band & Cast "Cavalcade Show" 11AM Ricardo written on it. "Rehearsal" is misspelled as "Rehearsel" and "Cavalcade" is written as "Calvacade".
