      When Cahiers du Cinéma requested statements from a selection of auteur filmmakers from around the world for inclusion in the magazine, Howard Hawks simply sent a production still from Man's Favorite Sport of Rock Hudson up to his neck in the lake with no explanation.
    • Goofs
      When Abigail cuts the cast off Roger's arm with the circular saw, she is holding and running the saw backwards.

    Rock & Paula Had GREAT Chemistry!
    Rock Hudson (in a role originally offered Cary Grant) and Paula Prentiss work beautifully together in this battle-of-the-sexes film from the early 60's. It's a shame that the studio didn't team the two up again, as they had a definite chemistry together (not unlike Rock had with Doris Day).

    I once met Paula backstage at a play she was appearing in and asked her to sign a lobby card showing the sexy "sleeping bag" scene from this film. She looked at the card, sighed, and said: "That was a fun scene to shoot. Rock was a good kisser!"
