Short description

In order to get back into the good graces with his wife with whom he has had a misunderstanding, a young chemistry professor concocts a wild story that he is an undercover FBI agent. To help him with his story he enlists the aid of a friend who is a TV writer. The wife swallows the story and the film's climax takes place in the sub-basements of the Empire State Building. The professor and his friend, believing themselves prisoners on an enemy submarine, patriotically try to scuttle the vessel and succeed only in rocking the building.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During the basement scene, after Anne leaves in anger and David recovers, Michael—who is lying unconscious on the ground—disappears from where he was lying as David walks past, and reappears there when David returns. The bucket previously thrown at him by Anne does not disappear, although it constantly changes position between cuts.
  • Filming the two-hour movie took 27 days. Director George Sidney (1916-2002) recounted that Columbia Pictures gave him 40 days for filming, to which he claimed he could film the movie in just 10 days. The studio was shocked (given that it was a high-budget film with A-list stars), and Sidney proposed a compromise of 27 days.
