Gentry Muriel Jayne Producer The movie was shot in Florida. Director William Grefe recalled: Mickey [Rooney] would have a big, artistic, creative thought in the middle of the night and he’d rewrite the whole scene. And he’d come in and hand me seven or eight pages... Everything was chaotic during the filming... I think I was more of a traffic cop than a director on that one. When you get five or six night club trained, vaudeville type comedians and you’re trying to direct them...thesc guys were going in 25 directions.
