Trivia
The U.S. Marine Corps was so flattered that Bugs Bunny decides to become a marine in this film that they insisted that the character be officially inducted into the force as a private, which was done, complete with dogtags. The character was regularly promoted until Bugs was officially "discharged" at the end of World War II as a Master Sergeant.
Professor Canafrazz was patterned at least in part after Richard Haydn's radio character Edwin Carp on the Burns and Allen radio show.
Numbers
This was Bugs' 16th cartoon, and this was the 47th cartoon Chuck Jones directed at WB.
