Trivia
A $500,000 building was erected in Berlin to be blown up during an action scene. No cameras were rolling when it did so.

Goofs
When Linda references The Fighting 69th (1940) she states that it stars Cary Grant and Brenda Marshall, but neither one appears in it.

Quotes
Ed Leland: What I was going to ask you to do is stand up, turn around, and close your eyes and tell me everything you see in the room. It's an observation test. Do you really have a problem with that?
Linda Voss: Pictures of sailboats and polo ponies; fancy books and diplomas; stuffed fish on the wall; calendar set to the wrong date; bookcases that need dusting; carpets that need cleaning; and a couple of guys from Harvard who are surprised that a girl who needs a job won't be treated like a slave.

The best worst picture of all time?

This has to be the best film ever to "win" a Razzie for Worst Picture of the Year. It may be flawed but it remains a good old-fashioned piece of romantic spy entertainment with many great sequences and impressive work by all departments of the production.
