Trivia

The car that James Garner drives into the swimming pool is a 1958 Chevy Impala convertible.

The music used during the scene that Mrs. Fraleigh is having her baby in the limousine is the same music used in the pilot for 'The Munsters'. The pilot made in 1963 did not air for the public until 2007.

When older Mr. Fraleigh tells his underling to put a swimming pool in Beverly Boyer's (Doris Day) backyard before the commercial for the following night, the workmen are on site the next morning, constructing the pool, and it is complete that night. There is at least one problem which would make that impossible, curing (hardening) the concrete would take much longer than even 24 hours, which is double the amount of time depicted.

The drama series is seen in color on several Zenith 23" black-and-white TV sets in various locations, including Dr. Boyer's den (before he buys a color set). His black-and-white TV has a label reading "COLOR TV" in red letters, added for the film.
