Trivia

The role of Zelda was originally written for Marilyn Monroe.

Production began with Peter Sellers in the role of Orville. Sellers suffered a heart attack several weeks into production, so filming had to start over with Ray Walston in the role (after Tony Randall, Bob Hope, Danny Kaye and Tom Ewell were all considered).

Orry-Kelly was in the initial stages of designing the costumes before being struck by liver cancer. Bill Thomas was uncredited for the clothes Kim Novak ended up wearing in the film.

Goofs

After Orville's wife digs under his sweatshirt for a pen while Johnny is playing the piano, the sound of the piano distorts as if the sound tape slowed down for a second.
