Trivia
The set for the musical number "Lose That Long Face" was created by taking New Orleans building facades left over from A Streetcar Named Desire and spray painting them white. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: While Vicki and Oliver are talking on the patio as Norman is listening in bed the seascape reflected on the glass doors behind them keeps resetting as though the film loop started over. See more »Quotes
Matt Libby: [after being introduced to Esther] Esther Blodgett? Well, we'll do something about that. Anyway, nice to have you with us.See more »
