Note that this movie was produced by W. Lee Wilder. He was the older, and far less famous, brother of Billy Wilder, and they apparently had a very rancorous relationship! W. Lee is billed as "William Wilder" for this movie, which no doubt bothered his brother quite a bit (strangely, Billy Wilder's first name was actually Samuel, and somehow he took the first name of his brother!). W. Lee Wilder produced and directed less than 20 movies. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
