Did you know

• The film was the second of three collaborations of Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder. Their other films were Hanky Panky (1982) and Haunted Honeymoon (1986). While in France to promote this film, the pair took a brief break from their professional duties and quietly married.

• Charlotte's (Kelly LeBrock) apartment building, at 1000 Mason Street, North Beach, San Francisco, California, where Teddy (Gene Wilder) gets caught outside the window, is the same apartment building used in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). It is the same building where Kim Novak's character Madeleine lives, and from where James Stewart's character Scottie follows her in the beginning of the movie.

• The film has been memorable due to its theme tune "I Just Called to Say I Love You" sung by Stevie Wonder which won the Academy Award for Best Song. The soundtrack was also composed by Wonder and also featured performances by Dionne Warwick.
