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:
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
