Behind the scenes
- The MPAA certificate number is 12542.
- It is the last Warner Bros. Cartoons short to have Bugs sit on the WB shield logo in the opening titles. Shorts following this have his appear like in the openings used during 1944-45, even though the Blue Ribbon reissue removes it.

- One of the posters used for the vaudeville show is for "Frizby the Magician," a reference to Friz Freleng.
- Bugs claims to have acrophobia, the fear of heights.
Errors
- The remaster used in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1 DVD set has a noticeably low audio pitch, due to it using a 1998 dubbed print of this short. The same issue also occurs in the version used in Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3 Blu-ray and DVD sets.
Everlasting influence
- The short was used as part of the third act of The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
- It was also used as as segment in the special Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports.
- Sam's line, "You notice I didn't say Richard?", is a reference to the 1947 song "Open the Door, Richard!" by Jack McVea.[1][2]
