The pair whose act, Mitchell& Petrillo, was imitative of Martin& Lewis( Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis), was sued by Lewis after the Lugosi film was released. Mitchell went on to become a well- known crooner and nightclub act in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and as such, was known as the “ King ” of Palm Springs and ran in some of the same circles as pal Frank Sinatra.
