Production

This is the final Bowery Boys film to feature Buddy Gorman; beginning with the next film in the series, Bennie Bartlett rejoined the group. It is also the last one produced by Jan Grippo, who left the series after his wife died.[1]

The movie was written by Leonard Stern under the pseudonym Max Adams. After co-writing Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town with Martin Ragaway, Stern wanted to try his hand at writing a feature on his own. When he finally got the assignment for Let's Go Navy! he adopted the pseudonym because he "wasn't particularly proud of doing a Bowery Boy [film]".[2]
