    • Trivia
      Lauren Bacall's character, Schatze, says, "I've always liked older men . . . Look at that old fellow, what's-his-name, in The African Queen (1951); absolutely crazy about him." She is referring to her then real-life husband, Humphrey Bogart.
    • Goofs
      When eating hamburgers in the coffee shop, the cigarette in Brookman's left hand changes into a napkin between shots.
    • Quotes

      [Referring to older men marrying young women]

      Schatze Page: Look at Roosevelt, look at Churchill, look at that old fella what's his name in The African Queen.

    Super Fun Fluff
    Bacall, Grable, and Monroe, along with fabulous fashions and sets, and a few epic shots of NYC all contribute to making an otherwise very thin film just plain fun to watch. I'm not going to spend time analyzing the different personalities each of the three leads and their men are supposed to represent. The title pretty much tells the story and I will just say that this was a fun, easy, and pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.
