Trivia
Billy Wright, the famous Wolverhampton Wanderers and England football player, is described as "Mr Beverley". That is a humorous reference to the fact that he was married to Joy Beverley, one of The Beverley Sisters. The Beverley Sisters trio was a very popular singing act in the 1950s and 1960s.

Goofs
After Malcolm and Jack Jackson leave the restaurant (after the football explanation) they both get into the Bentley in dinner suits where there is a van parked on the right hand side of the road . When they exit the car, the van has changed into a car.

Quotes
Libby Morris: I'm looking for someone with a little authority.
Glen Mason: Well I've got a little as anyone.

Soundtracks
Frankie and Johnny
sung by George 'Calypso' Browne

I caught this on TV recently and I cannot remember it when it was released (thank goodness). I was 15 in 1960 and very much into pop music but this film was even dated by then. Middle of the road lesser artists of the day. Sure, Russ Conway and Craig Douglas had a number of top ten hits but they appealed more to parents rather then teenagers. Jack Jackson was a reasonably good disc jockey but his humour was both corny and unfunny. I cringed rather than laughed at his so-called jokes. The only saving grace was the excellent version of "Frankie and Johnny"although I do not know the name of the band.
