Shirley Temple's final film role and her only starring feature since 1934 which did not receive a contemporary New York Times review.

This is a movie version of the popular CBS radio sitcom, "Meet Corliss Archer" starring Janet Waldo, voice of Judy Jetson, Penelope Pitstop and Hanna-Barbera's Alice in Wonderland. It was later adapted into a TV series,
Darryl Hickman, who plays Dexter Franklin, played Raymond Pringle in the previous film, Kiss and Tell (1945). Robert Ellis, who plays Raymond Pringle, later played Dexter Franklin in the TV series Meet Corliss Archer (1954).
