Trivia:
The cello piece played by Madeline in the song "The Duel" is the Minuet #4 in G (BWV Anh.II.114) from "Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach" by Christian Petzold (formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach). moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Miles tells Edgar that the phrase "A dream is a wish your heart makes" comes from Sleeping Beauty (1959), and starts to say the date as "nineteen sixty..." Edgar corrects him and says it's from Cinderella (1950), but states the date as 1949. (It's understandable that Miles gets both the movie and the year wrong, but it's less likely for a computer, unless Edgar is going by copyright date rather than release date.) moreQuotes:
Lillian Roth as Trixie in Madam Satan: I'll show ya some *real* brimstone.Edgar: Yeah!
Lillian Roth as Trixie in Madam Satan: Orchestra, play Low Down, and make it *hot*!
Edgar: All right. I am. Get down on it.
[Edgar plays Jeff Lynne's "Let It Run" on the turntable and projects images from Madam Satan around Miles' apartment]
Edgar: Yeah. It's *my* party.
Edgar: [singsong] And Moles, you're not invited.
Edgar: All right!

This movie is rather funny and like some of the other viewers, the main song has stuck with me since the movie was first released. One point this movie tried to make is that there can never be enough montages. Without all the musical montages in this movie, the film would have lasted only thirty-minutes or so. Anyway, if your in the mood for a movie with a strange love triangle that doesn't involve questioning a characters sexuality, watch this.
