When Centron began work on this movie for Spencer Chemical Company in 1954, they decided to work Spencer's trademark, Mr. N, into the film, and that's when Billy Barty, famous Hollywood midget who was appearing on the Spike Jones and Pinky Lee TV shows, came into the picture.

Barty answered, "Oh, no, Herk, I forgot!" But Barty, with his wacky sense of humor, was just kidding.
