| Trivia | Author Richard Llewellyn was strongly opposed to the casting of Cary Grant, demanding to know how the 40-year-old actor could play a teenager. See more » |
| Goofs | As Ernie and Henry part at the end, a flute is playing a slow, sorrowful dirge. There is a flautist leaning against the wall, and it appears that he should be the one playing; however, his finger movements are more along the lines of a fast jig than a slow dirge. See more » |
