Spoiler : During this episode, Kirk Douglas lived up to his reputation for being terrifyingly intense in a role. He grabbed Marilyn Maxwell's arm so hard that she let out an unscripted shriek of pain. And he knocked Elliott Lewis's script out of Lewis' hand and flying across the studio. Not long afterwards, there was a joke about this, in the 1950-05-21 episode of the "Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show". A cop visits Phil to tell him to renew his driver's licence. Phil's voice cracks, which he explains with, "Sorry. I've been taking Jeanette MacDonald pills." Then Elliott (as Frankie Remley) melodramatically and tearfully confesses to whatever crime has been committed, which he explains with, "I've been taking Kirk Douglas pills."
