Goofs
When Tim is passed out drunk on June's bed, the hair on his forehead disappears and then reappears between shots.
Share this
The "Himmelweiss" portrait--straight when Tim first hangs it over the dresser--is suddenly askew in the following shot, and again straight in the shot after that.
Share this
In the car scenes after Tim and June pull away from the Standish Arms doorman, Tim's left arm is inconsistently atop the driver's door, then inside the car, as they converse.

Quotes
June Cameron: You know, you and that little bundle of boredom are going to make a charming couple. And when people don't ask you out, don't blame it all on her.
Share this
June Cameron: The modern woman can match the modern man fiber for fiber and have a rib left over.

John R. Pierce: [to Timothy] You're a very lucky man. You've made money while you were asleep.

Q
Why is the PCA certificate number listed as 6039 when onscreen it is clearly 3052?
A
The actual PCA certificate numbers are on file at The Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Occasionally, the filmmakers get it wrong and list an incorrect value. In this case, the fact that it's wrong is obvious. Any 1940 film would have to have a 5000 or 6000 number. The AFI Catalogue researchers always list the value at the Library and not any that are onscreen.
