Trivia
Originally Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz wanted Bette Davis, (she was an classmate of Lucy, in her early dramatic school days) to play the "celebrity next door." Bette agreed but to the tune of $20,000, equal billing to Lucy and Desi, and the cost of her return fare home after filming covered. Lucy and Desi were considering giving in when Bette suffered some personal setbacks (including falling off a horse and cracking a vertebrae) and she had to drop out.

Goofs
After Tallulah Bankhead storms out of the Ricardos kitchen, Lucy slams the kitchen door. As she does this, the drawstring to the blind hanging on the door sways back and forth through the window, indicating that there is no glass in the window.

Quotes
Lucy Ricardo: [Ethel, posing as the Ricardos' maid, is lavishing praise on Tallulah Bankhead while serving dinner] Ethel... Ethel Mae... will you PLEASE stop boring Miss Bankhead?
Tallulah Bankhead: [Slowly turns to face Lucy] When Miss Bankhead is bored, Miss Bankhead will let you know.
