Did You Know?
| Trivia | Burt Reynolds once said of his co-star Goldie Hawn in this movie: "Goldie Hawn and I had been talking for five years about doing a movie together. She's someone who makes me laugh. Really laugh. I knew her when she was a dumb blonde and even then she was one of the smartest people I knew" and "We'd meet for dinner and compare notes on the scripts we'd read and liked, but we always ran up against the same problem. The male role always dominated the female character or vice versa. They didn't seem to be writing the kind of give-and-take comedies that Tracy and Hepburn [Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn] or Cary Grant and Jean Arthur used to do." See more » |
| Goofs | Goldie Hawn mentions Teresa Wright not being on the train in Since You Went Away (1944). It was Jennifer Jones, not Wright. See more » |

Paula McCullen:
Breasts too large, Richard? Every female character you create has breasts too large. Richard Babson: Mmm... but I make them suffer for it. See more » |
