Trivia During filming of the shower scene, director Henry Hathaway had to keep yelling at Marilyn Monroe to keep away from the shower curtain and away from the lights as she insisted on being naked (as she was under the bed sheets at the beginning of the film). To pass the censors of the time, the scene was darkened in post-production. See more »
Goofs While energetically explaining the local layout to Ray and Polly Cutler, Mr. Kettering describes Chippawa, Ontario as the scene of a major American defeat in the Revolutionary War. However, U.S. forces in the Revolutionary War got no closer than 75 miles from the area. In fact, Chippawa was the scene of a major American victory in the War of 1812. See more »

Quotes [Upon seeing Rose Loomis in a low-cut, tight-fitting red dress]
Ray Cutler: Hey, get out the firehose!
[to Polly]
Ray Cutler: Why don't you ever get a dress like that?
Polly Cutler: Listen. For a dress like that, you've got to start laying plans when you're about thirteen.
