Trivia
This film received just one Academy Award nomination, for Best Original Screenplay. When it won the award, eyebrows were raised, because it was generally acknowledged that this movie was an unofficial retread of an earlier MGM film, Woman of the Year (1942).

Goofs
While visiting Marineland, bottlenose dolphins are incorrectly referred to as porpoises, both by Mike and by the off-screen announcer of the dolphin show.

Quotes
Mike Hagen: [narration] Liquor, I've found, makes me very smart sometimes.

Crazy credits
As 'The End' appears on the screen, Maxie Stultz delivers the final line of the movie while punching a 'speed bag' in a boxing gym: "I'm making a comeback, you know?"

A beautifully shot film with good performances - a pleasure to look at and watch.

I thought the film had some enjoyable performances. Peck is a little wooden but perhaps this was meant to be part of his character. I liked the hoodlums very much and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. The monologues by the characters work very well and the film still surprises and entertains the viewer.
