 During production, Abbott and Costello returned to Universal Studios on May 13 for reshoots on "The Naughty Nineties".This is the last of three feature films that Abbott and Costello made on loan to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer while under contract to Universal; the other two features were "Rio Rita" and "Lost in a Harem".Many stars appear in the film as themselves, such as Lucille Ball, Rags Ragland, Preston Foster, and a young Dean Stockwell.
