Trivia
- The character played by Mae Questel who appears in the short is not called by her full name Betty Boop, she's just referred to as "Miss Boop" and or "Betty the 'Boop-a-Doop' kid" which indicates that the character is Betty Boop.
- According to a draft of the script, Betty Boop in this live-action short film was originally to be played by Margie Hines, as only both Questel and Hines were doing the role of Betty around this time. Questel took over the role, and Hines' name was "scribbled" out on the script.
- "Don't Take My Boop-Oop-a-Doop Away" was a song originally written for Helen Kane, which is why it is titled "Don't Take My Boop-Boop-a-Doop Away" on record. Margie Hines recorded the song as "Betty Boop" for the Fleischer Studios cartoon Betty Boop in Boop-Oop-a-Doop.
