This film, whose working title was "The Thief of Broadway", was originally intended for Danny Kaye. Berle, the most popular performer on television at the time, signed for $75,000 and a percentage of the profits. Berle had a reputation for stealing jokes, although he told The New York Times that it was he who started the rumor during a feud with comedian Richie Craig Jr.
