Anecdotes
The pimps' union is called the "Mecs (Guys or Blokes) Paris Protective Association" (MPPA), which also stands for "Motion Picture Producers Association", an organization which had given Director Billy Wilder some trouble.

Gaffes
The shadow of the boom can be seen on the brown wall, at the right of the screen, just after Nestor shows up in Irma's apartment following his jailbreak. It shows up behind Lefevre just after Irma's sarcasm that Nestor can be found in jail.

Citations
Moustache: Shows you the kind of world we live in. Love is illegal - but not hate. That you can do anywhere, anytime, to anybody. But if you want a little warmth, a little tenderness, a shoulder to cry on, a smile to cuddle up with, you have to hide in dark corners, like a criminal. Pfui.

Autres versions
The MGM/UA VHS print had the 1994 United Artists logo but in the other releases, the opening and closing MGM logos are shown.

Not as good as the Apartment

There's some funny parts for sure, but there's just a little something missing here that makes the movie fail to live up to the Apartment. I'm not sure that Shirley MacLaine really pulled off the hooker role, even though Lemmon was his typical stuttering, nebbish self. The studio look was pretty great, even if the movie was only "good." Had The Apartment not existed, I think I'd rate this higher, but in a world where this is the follow up to that perfectly made, bittersweet romantic movie, this farcical and too-cute (even though it's about the seedier side) movie just doesn't have the same impact.
