Trivia
In the movie, Dick Van Dyke's character wants to be a chemist. In the stage play he wants to be a simple English teacher, and Rosie has a song to that effect. None of the Russian Ballet shows up in either the stage version or the 1995 movie remake. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Rosie originally confronts the Shriners, she twirls her shawl and tangles her hands in the ends. Viewed from the side, her hands are untangled and the shawl hangs freely at her sides. See more »Crazy Credits
There is no "The End" credit or cast list at the end of the film. Ann-Margret simply sings an on-screen reprise of the song "Bye Bye Birdie" at the end, and then says " 'Bye, now!". See more »Soundtracks
