Arnaz, Bracken, and Johnson repeated their roles in the 1940 RKO Radio Pictures movie version. During the filming, Arnaz met future wife Lucille Ball, who was co-starring in the film. For some reason the popular song "I Like to Recognize the Tune" did not appear in the film version, but it did appear in a later Lucille Ball film, Meet the People (MGM, 1944).
