Trivia
While directing Bing Crosby in Say One for Me (1959), Bing mentioned to Tashlin how much
he hated how he was caricatured in the Warner Bros. cartoon Swooner Crooner (1944).
Tashlin laughed, and told Bing that not only did he direct that
cartoon, he also animated the caricature in it!
Quotes
[on Jerry Lewis]: Jerry is my best friend - I know if ever I were in any need, all I'd have to do is make a phone call. Sometimes, on a professional basis, he's exasperating, but anyone who's talented is.
