Trivia
Many reviewers noted that James Caan seemed miscast in the role of comedian Eddie Sparks (a caricature of Bob Hope) and wondered why co-star George Segal, who as an actor had proved equally adept at comedy and drama, wasn't cast in the role instead. The truth is that Caan's career was hot again after the success of Misery (1990) and Segal was not, so Caan got the lead and Segal the supporting role.

Lonzo Jones turned down a role in this film due to being cast in a pilot at the time.

Many of the U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton, California, were going to be used as extras in some scenes. Unfortunately, Operation Desert Shield started and many of them had to be shipped to the Middle East. Producers had to hire clean-cut civilians to fill the ranks.

Goofs
During a skit on an early Fifties TV variety show, Dixie makes an off-handed joke about group sex that would have triggered a major scandal had it really been broadcast during that era.

At the military funeral of Dixie's husband, the folded flag she receives is folded wrongly. The trim with the grommets would never be shown. A properly folded flag ONLY shows the blue field with stars, and nothing else. Throughout the scene, you can see that several versions of the flag were used, but in each snippet, you can always see the trim, which should have been tucked under and inside the fold.

When Dixie arrives in England in December of 1942, there is a P-51 Mustang on the ramp. This airplane was not in service in December 1942. Also this airplane has the black and white identification stripes not used until June 6, 1944.
