Movie Goof (errors in geography): When the Sheriff escorts Marcia into the jail holding cell, he welcomes her to the "Tomahawk County Jail". However, in the exterior shot just prior the cornerstone of the building plainly reads "Clay Co." That's because the exterior was shot at the Clay County Courthouse in Piggott, Arkansas. There is no Tomahawk County in Arkansas.
Andy Griffith's film debut.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): During the baton twirling scene, Lonesome Rhodes announces the names of the girls one at a time as they come forward to perform. However, one of the girls is already running towards the center stage just as her name is being called.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Just before Larry goes on air during his first TV appearance, the straw in his mouth disappears between shots.
