    • Trivia
      According to the Paramount Collection at the AMPAS Library, this movie was produced at the cost of 1,701,083 dollars, which was 103,083 dollars over its allotted budget. Because of the budget overruns, a planned "The Bat Lady" musical production number was never filmed.

      Abigail 'Abby' Parker: You told him to kiss me?

      Rick Todd: Lady, if I'd known he was going to kiss you, I wouldn't have sent a boy to do a man's job.

      Abigail 'Abby' Parker: [slap] That's for the man. You can tell him the job's filled.

    Did Anne Bancroft have a cameo role?
    A crazy film for devotees of the super-hero comic book. Shirley MacLaine was both wacky and alluring as Bessie, who is the inspiration of the Bat-Lady, a character of the comic book which Dorothy Malone draws(?) Jerry is his usual self, while Dean Martin turns up a one-note performance as the typecast Lothario who tries to romance Dorothy who at first would have nothing to do with him. Eva Gabor(before Green Acres), cast as the seductress who tries to worm spy secrets out of Jerry is excellent.

    I remember seeing the movie years ago and there was a scene where Jerry paints faces and puts little dresses on the knees of a young blonde actress in one scene. The actress bared a slight resemblance to Anne Bancroft. Is this correct?
