Some "Abbott and Costello" connection trivia I noticed

In one of the earlier scenes, two military policemen come to Erika's apartment, with orders to take her to the denazification office. After they have hassled her for a few minutes, Captain Pringle quietly steps out of the back room, surprising the two military policemen with his presence, as they thought Erika was alone. Pringle says to the two surprised MPs, "Now, Abbott and Costello, suppose you show me your orders."

It turns out, one of the two military policemen, the one who did all the talking, was played by actor Gordon Jones. Some of you may recognize him: a few years after this film, Jones would go on to play the recurring role of Mike Kelly, or Mike the Policeman, on the Abbott and Costello TV show of the early 50s.
