  • 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.

Garland Humphrey 'Red' Lynch : Your sister's all right.

Toby Sherwood : You said she was dying.

Garland Humphrey 'Red' Lynch : I had to find some way to get you here. Take off your clothes. You want me to take them off for you?

Toby Sherwood : [shakes her head]

Garland Humphrey 'Red' Lynch : Then take them off.
