Production
Jumping Jacks was filmed from December 3, 1951 through January 23, 1952. The original story was written during World War II by Robert Lees and Fred Rinaldo and acquired by Paramount Pictures. It was offered first to Bob Hope, then to Danny Kaye who both turned it down because they had already done army comedies. Paramount made arrangements to bring Cantinflas up from Mexico for the film but the war ended making army comedies obsolete. The screenplay was updated for Martin and Lewis by Herbert Baker who would write several other films for the team as well as write for Martin on The Dean Martin Show and three of the Matt Helm films.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
