Did You Know?
| Trivia | Throughout his career Walter Brennan, who had false teeth, approached roles in one of two ways: with teeth or without. In The Gnome-Mobile (1967) he had it both ways: teeth in for D.J. Mulrooney, and teeth out for Knobby the gnome. See more » |
| Goofs | D.J's room in the asylum is shown to have a window that is flush with the wall. However, outside shots show that the room is at roof level and the window protrudes from the roof. See more » |

It's never been touched by-- [D.J. glances at the other occupants of the car] D.J. Mulrooney: --by do-deans. See more » |
