Did You Know?
Trivia | Several scenes in the movie were shot inside New York's Henri Bendel department store. So as not to disrupt normal business, motion picture equipment was brought in at closing time and filming would go on all night. When customers arrived at the store each morning, all traces of the production had vanished. See more » |
Goofs | A string can be seen attached to the crab as it scuttles through the market in the opening scene. See more » |
