Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTwo years after this film was released, the state of New York passed legislation that allowed women to sit on juries. National recognition via the Supreme Court would come decades later, so it was still left to the states in the meantime. The jury in this film is comprised entirely of men.
- GoofsWhen the car first crashes through the front of the store, it stops in an upright position. In subsequent shots, it is tilted up at a 45 degree angle.
- Quotes
Tony Baxter: Peedles! Champagne cocktails - no two ways about it.
Peedles: Yes, sir.
Tony Baxter: [to Ann] You know, two of Peedles' cocktails make you feel like, uh... like, uh...
Peedles: Like the moon in the morning mist, sir.
Tony Baxter: That's it!
Peedles: Thank you, sir.

Written by Charles A. Zimmerman
Lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles and R. Lovell
Played on a radio in the boathouse
Another fun scene takes place in a closed diner where the now two fugitives, Ann and Tony, take shelter following a chase by mobsters during a thunder storm. Ann finds some apple jack and proceeds to get looped. Tony pretends to be the cook when the gangsters arrive and serves them hamburgers that he and Ann intended to eat. The local constable shows up after the hoods leave. He gets pie-eyed too.
This is one of those neat little films where loose ends get tied much too soon making for a fairly abrupt ending, as if the writers ran out of ideas and decided to wrap things up quickly. Still a very watchable comedy drama with some great acting thrown in to make it even more entertaining.
