In November 1965 Jerry Lewis was negotiating with producer Hal B. Wallis to remake the film with his son Gary Lewis as co-star, but the film was never made.
Producer Hal B. Wallis was so pleased with the screen chemistry among the film's cast members that he immediately reteamed Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Polly Bergen, Marion Marshall, and Eddie Mayehoff in The Stooge (1951).
The film's premise spun off into That's My Boy (1954) with Eddie Mayehoff recreating his role as father and Gil Stratton in the Junior role.
In November 1951 Jimmy Durante sued Wallis-Hazen, Inc. for $350,000 in damages. He claimed that the expression "That's my boy" had been identified with him since 1943, when he was a regular on Garry Moore's radio show. The disposition of the lawsuit is not known.
