In-joke: Newsreel narrator is identified on screen as "Alan Brady" - in reality voice of Carl Reiner (who receives a "special thanks" in credits) using name of character he played on The Dick Van Dyke Show.
The picture is part of a mini early-to-mid 1980s cycle of Hollywood movies where a young man has an affair with a more mature woman. This has started after the box-office success of the late 1970s Canadian film In Praise of Older Women (1978). The films include: Class (1983), My Tutor (1983), Private Lessons (1981), In the Mood (1987), and They're Playing with Fire (1984).
The radio voice of Bob Hope is contributed by an uncredited Dave Thomas, who had impersonated Hope several times on "SCTV."
