Trivia
Most of the commercials seen before and during the Love for Sale musical number were genuine TV ads of the day, including Victor Kiam's famous Remington shaver ad with its slogan "I liked it so much, I bought the company!" According to Byrne, many of the characters in this film were inspired by actual supermarket tabloid stories. See more »Goofs
Continuity: The amount of asparagus changes repeatedly during the dinner party. See more »Crazy Credits
