Did You Know?
| Trivia | The New York Times critic noted in his review of this film on May 27, 1967, that "of all the witty demonstrations, one of the most amusing" in the film was when Jayne Mansfield loses her bra in the home of Terry-Thomas. The sex symbol's two-minute cameo was shot under great personal distress, however. Filmed in mid December 1966, at the time Zoltan Hargitay, Mansfield's youngest son with Mickey Hargitay, was recovering from spinal meningitis at Conejo Valley, California Community Hospital, after undergoing brain surgery resulting from his being mauled by a lion in a freak accident at the Jungleland Park in Thousand Oaks, California, on November 26, 1966. Zoltan spent exactly one month in the hospital, returning home to Jayne's "Pink Palace" on that year's Christmas morning. Though several Mansfield films were released after her untimely death six months later, the scenes in this one were, as an actress, her final moments before the professional movie cameras.

Technical Adviser:
[after losing her bra in "the heat of battle"]
It's all right, Tiger. I've got another one at home. Technical Adviser: That is not what's worrying me. What is worrying me is my wife coming home and finding it. Technical Adviser: She'll just think it's hers. Technical Adviser: Don't be ridiculous. See more » |
