Trivia
When Kim Novak walks along Hollywood Blvd, a theater she passes by is playing The Dirty Dozen, a film Robert Aldrich made a year earlier, and whose commercial success made it possible for the director to start his own production company and make movies like this. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Bart throws the ball through the window glass, every later shot that has the window visible shows no hole or broken glass. Further, the sound of the glass breaking is too late after the ball is thrown. See more »
