Interesting facts

Francis Joins the WACS is a 1954 American black-and-white comedy film from Universal-International, produced by Ted Richmond, directed by Arthur Lubin and starring Donald O'Connor, Julie Adams, ZaSu Pitts, Mamie Van Doren and Chill Wills in two roles, including that of the distinctive voice of Francis in voice-over.

Production

Donald O'Connor's contract with Universal had expired, so there was some doubt that he would reprise his role before he agreed to make another film.

Leonard Goldstein did not return as producer, being replaced by Ted Richmond.

Although Francis Joins the WACS was announced in late 1952, filming did not start until February 1954.
