- Trivia As of 2023, Kelly's house at 120 St. Germain Ave. in San Francisco is still standing with the same architecture.
- Goofs There are official photos of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and President John F. Kennedy in different government offices. However, this picture was filmed in 1961, during a transition period from the Eisenhower to the Kennedy administration, so it is quite possible that there were portraits of both in some places. There also are 48-star flags in some scenes; sometimes those in authority didn't make changes as quickly as today.
