a.		Begun in the early 1940s, the film was eventually pieced together, with musical footage shot and inserted later, and released in late 1946, receiving approval by the New York censorship board in December 1946.

c.		Shortly after arriving in the US from Germany, Oskar Fischinger was contracted by Paramount Pictures to create an animated sequence (in Technicolor or Gasparcolor; sources differ) for this movie. The movie was scored to a jazz piece, "Radio Dynamics", by studio musician Ralph Rainger. Unfortunately, Paramount switched the production to black-and-white, and Fischingers animation became a sequence within the film, showing consumer products emanating from a radio broadcasting tower, rather than pure abstract imagery. Fischinger later released his color version as Allegretto.
d.		All of the fight sequences were improvised by the actors to give the fights a sense of realism.
