Behind the scenes

This is the only appearance of Pepé Le Pew in a Friz Freleng cartoon; the character up to that point had only appeared in shorts directed by Chuck Jones.
The plot is similar to that of the 1952 cartoon, Ain't She Tweet.

Errors

Everlasting influence

Due to Pepé's cameo in the short, Jones returned the favor by putting a cameo of Tweety in a later Merrie Melodies cartoon, No Barking.
A small portion of this cartoon would be recycled in the 1966 Merrie Melodies cartoon, Cats and Bruises.
