Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun on "the millionaire." You're welcome.
- This is the second and last of the only two cartoons directed by Robert McKimson to pair Bugs and Daffy together; the other being People are Bunny.
- Unlike most Bugs Bunny shorts, his headshot does not appear in the opening titles. It also lacks a Bugs Bunny introduction card.
- As of this short, it is the 100th Daffy Duck cartoon that was ever released.
Errors
- Although this cartoon is a Looney Tunes short, it uses the Merrie Melodies outro with the Looney Tunes closing theme.
- When this cartoon was first released on the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire DVD, it had been cropped to a 16:9 widescreen format. However, it was later restored with its original aspect ratio on the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection Blu-ray set.
