Trivia:
The graduation scenes were filmed on the University of Illinois campus in Champaign-Urbana. The large building in front of the graduates is Foellinger Auditorium made up to look like a Harvard building. Many of the graduates are U of I students. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: Flipped film causes "Harvard" on Wilder's sweatshirt to read backwards, and Monty's cast to change legs. moreQuotes:
Simon Wilder: Women. Ain't they perfect?Monty: Not always.
Simon Wilder: Yes, they are, they're perfect. Don't matter if they're skinny, fat, blond or blue. If a woman is willing to give you her love, Harvard, it's the greatest gift in the world. Makes you taller, makes you smarter, makes your teeth shine. Boy, oh, boy, women are perfect.

Usually funny, usually sad, OK in my book (if I have such a book). A
