Continuity mistake: When Porky parks his car after the security guard spots him wearing an Oliver Hardy disguise, he jumps out of the car and the door is shut. When Porky sees the security guard after being thrown out of the shooting of the ballet film, he runs back to his car and the door is now open.

Continuity mistake: When Porky Pig is beating up Daffy Duck off screen, some paper flies out and lands in front of the doorway. When Porky comes out after finishing the fight, another piece of paper appears from nowhere.

Continuity mistake: When Porky is searching for his contract in the waste-paper basket in Leon Schlesinger's office, he leaves some paper on the floor. But when Leon tells him to go back to work, we cut to Porky and the paper has gone.

Trivia: Various members of the Warner Brothers animation staff appear in the short. Michael Maltese plays a studio cop, Gerry Chiniquy plays a director and Henry Binder appears as a stagehand who throws Porky off a soundstage after his sneezing interrupts the shooting of a ballet film. But Mel Blanc dubbed all their voices, as the footage was shot silent.
