| Trivia | (Cameo) Robert Vaughn: briefly appears in his central role of "Napoleon Solo" from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964) at the party, with a snatch of that show's theme music on the soundtrack. The same music is heard when Homer Cripps goes undercover in drag. Theodore Marcuse played three different guest characters on that show. Dom DeLuise appeared on the spin-off The Danish Blue Affair (1966). See more » |
