    • Trivia
      Because the bathing suit that Marilyn wears in the film was so risqué (for the time) and caused such a commotion on the set, director Joseph M. Newman had to make it a closed set while she was filming.
    • Goofs
      When Jim joins Charles in the jail cell, twice the inmate in the next cell tells them to shut up, complaining their talk is keeping him awake. Charles then raises his voice to orate his life's story in a session that is to take all night, but the man in the next cell is never heard again.
    • Quotes

      Jim Scott: Oh, now you're arguing just like a woman.

      Connie Scott: I never claimed to be anything else.

    Cute, minor early 1950's Fox film...but with some forgotten Character actors
    This is a cute typical comedy from 20th Century-Fox in the early 1950's. This movie is famous because it has an early, very good, normal supporting performance by Marilyn Monroe. The movie stars June Haver (wife of Fred MacMurray) and Willam Lundigan, a minor leading man of the period.

    The cool thing is this film has supporting performances from three unusual actors: Jack Paar, in one of his few acting roles, Frank Fay, once married to Barbara Stanwyck, who was the most popular comedian and master-of-ceremonies of the entire Vaudeville era (he also the star of the original Broadway hit, "Harvey"), and Leatrice Joy, a famous silent actress in one of her final film roles.

    For those performances alone, it's worth watching.
