Storyline

Two researchers have come to San Francisco to compete for a research grant in Music. One seems a bit distracted, and that was before he meets her. A strange woman seems to have devoted her life to confusing and embarassing him. At the same time a woman has her jewels stolen and a government whistle blower arrives with his stolen top secret papers. All, of course have the same style and color overnight bag. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia

The fender bender Judy causes as she crosses the street to the Bristol Hotel was added on the spur of the moment. When no stunt cars were available, Peter Bogdanovich instructed a crew member to rent two cars and make sure he got collision insurance. Then he staged the wreck before returning the battered cars.

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When the VW Bus is struck repeatedly during the car chase sand can be seen spilling out of the engine compartment in the back. This was obviously a junk van with the engine and powertrain removed and the sand added presumably to make up for the missing weight. The bus, when rammed by the black 1969 Cadillac DeVille convertible, is not the same one seen earlier when rammed by a 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousine and the taxicab. This particular bus was a prop. See more »

Quotes

Judy: Aw come-on, Steve, you don't want to marry Eunice.
Howard: I'm not Steve. I'm Howard.
Judy: Well neither of you wants to marry Eunice.
Howard: Why do you say that?
Judy: Because you don't want to marry someone who's gonna get all wrinkled, lined, and flabby.
Howard: Everybody gets wrinkled, lined, and flabby!
Judy: By next week?
