ā¢ The ad agency's viewing room has both color and black-and-white televisions side by side. This was common in the 1960s, allowing the executives to see how the commercial would appear in both color and B&W.
ā¢ Two years after this film's release, Kym Karath (who plays the precocious five-year-old Maggie Boyer) won what is probably her best-known role, that of the youngest of the Von Trapp family singers in the box office behemoth The Sound of Music (1965).
ā¢ Producer Ross Hunter was furious when Walter Matthau asked for a salary of $100,000 (equivalent to about $875,000 in 2021). He cast (the less costly) Edward Andrews, instead.
