The Brass Bottle (1964) and Fluffy (1965) were two Universal comedies starring Tony Randall that were made back to back, both costarring familiar character actor Edward Andrews.

The list of character actors involved in these run-of-the-mill juvenile comedies include Doodles Weaver, Jim Backus, Howard Morris, Whit Bissel, Dick Sargent, Frank Faylen, Sammee Tong, Milton Frome, Shirley Jones, Barbara Eden, Herb Vigran, Paul Frees and everyone else who was on 1960s TV. Also plenty of familiar locations from Griffith Park to the streets of the San Fernando Valley.
