The pair are later scene poolside at the El Mirador Hotel watching comedy diving.  The hotel boasted an Olympic-size swimming pool with five diving boards, an underwater window on the pool for use by photographers, and a pool observation platform. The hotel was demolished in 1978. 
The film also includes:   
Michèle Morgan and Paul Henried riding horses at Rogers Ranch. The pair starred in RKO’s Joan of Paris (1942). In “The Adagio” (S1;E12 ~ 1951) Ricky imitates Henried by smoking two cigarettes at once, just a Henried did in Warner Brothers’ Now Voyager (1942) with Bette Davis. 
Neil Hamilton creating a fire break by cutting down brush. Hamilton appeared with Lucille Ball in 1941′s Look Who’s Laughing for RKO. 
Gail Patrick is instructed how to shoot skeet by expert Carl Bradshaw. Ball and Patrick had done two films together at RKO. 
At the Racquet Club, owner Charles Farrell gives lessons to his wife, the film actress formerly known as Virginia Valli. Mr. Farrell is best remembered for “My Little Margie”, a CBS sitcom sponsored by Philip Morris that served as a summer replacement for “I Love Lucy.” 
Playing checkers courtside are Gene Lockhart and his daughter June. They wave to the Farrells. In 1947, Gene Lockhart was in Columbia’s Her Husband’s Affairs with Lucille Ball. The year before, June appeared in MGM’s Easy To Wed with Ball. 
On another court, a shirtless Peter Lorre plays against tennis pro Budge Patty and Bob Falkenberg.  In 1942, Lorre appeared in Warner Brothers’ classic film Casablanca. Falkenberg’s movie star sister Jinx cheers him from the sidelines. She sits next to tennis champion Philip Reed. Charlie Farrell and Elyse Knox also watch the match. 
Freeman Gosden (Amos and Andy) and tennis champ Joe Hunt are amused by a mugging contest between Farrell and heavyweight champion / actor Max Baer. In 1942, Baer was featured in RKO’s The Navy Comes Through.

Elyse Knox in I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes (William Nigh, 1948)
Cast: Don Castle, Elyse Knox, Regis Toomey, Charles D. Brown, Rory Mallinson, Robert Lowell, Bill Kennedy. Screenplay: Steve Fisher, based on a story by Cornell Wooolrich. Cinematography: Mack Stengler. Art direction: Dave Milton. Film editing: Roy V. Livingston, Otho Lovering. 
I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes is a tidy, by-the-numbers Wrong Man thriller with an eleventh-hour climax -- in short, the kind of drama that would become standard on television a few years after it was released. Tom (Don Castle) and Ann (Elyse Knox) are a young dance team getting by between bookings on Ann's pay (and tips) as an instructor in a dance hall. One night, Tom flings his shoes out the window at a yowling cat. That same night, an elderly miser in their neighborhood is murdered and robbed. Tom's shoes become an important clue in the search for the killer, leading to his conviction for murder and imprisonment on Death Row. His only hope lies in Ann's attempt to persuade the police detective, Clint Judd (Regis Toomey), with whom she has flirted at the dance hall, to find the real killer. The movie was made by Poverty Row studio Monogram, so there's nothing fancy about it. The stars are low-wattage: Castle had been a bit player at Paramount before World War II, and had trouble restarting his career after being drafted and serving in the Army Air Force. Knox was a former model whose career never quite took off before she was signed by Monogram to play the girlfriend of Joe Palooka in a series of movies based on the comic strip hero; she married football player Tom Harmon and became the mother of Mark Harmon. Regis Toomey was probably the best-known member of the cast, with an IMDb list of 273 credits, stretching from 1929 to 1985, mostly in character roles. Director William Nigh started as an actor, but turned director in 1914, working steadily for B-movie factories like Monogram. I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes was his next-to-last feature. Mostly a straightforward movie, it does try a little too hard in a montage in which Tom, counting the hours until he goes to the chair, is haunted by echoes of the word "shoes." It comes off, unfortunately, as a little silly. Otherwise, it's solid, unpretentious, and modestly entertaining.
