Notes
The opening credits read "Martin Cohen Enterprises presents Hy Jacobson's Yiddish-American Musical Revue Catskill Honeymoon." The credits also noted that the film was shot at Young's Gap Hotel in Parksville, NY. Censors in Ohio cut out English subtitles for a joke about a stutterer, who came to be that way because he was born with his tongue out and was delivered for a circumcision the wrong way. Censors in Maryland cut out both the English subtitles and the Yiddish dialogue for the joke.
