    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Central Intelligence Agency was concerned about the portrayal of race relations in Hollywood films, particularly for foreign consumption, and in the early 1950s quietly contacted a number of film studios about using more African-American actors in small, subtly positive roles. One result was the smattering of black observers in the crowd during this film's big golf game.
    • Goofs
      Joe is twice seen walking down Pacific Coast Highway "heading for San Francisco." However, from Monterey he would actually need to walk in the opposite direction.
    • Quotes

      Kathy Taylor: [At an elegant country club soiree] Good evening.

      Joe Anthony: [Feeling underdressed and out of his element] I better make that 'good night.' I'm out of uniform.

      Kathy Taylor: You're positively stunning. So what if you left your dinner jacket at home?

      Joe Anthony: I left it in Kansas City, but I can show you the pawn ticket.

      Kathy Taylor: I believe you. Shall we dance?

      Joe Anthony: Only if I lead.

      Kathy Taylor: You can lead.

    I loved it!
    I love Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, and this film had to be one of the funniest, aside from Sailor Beware. Martin and Lewis have a great chemistry that is so much fun to watch. I haven't seen all their movies yet, but after seeing The Caddy, I'll have to see them all! You have to see this movie.
