Improvised Scene: Sumner is leaving Bunny's apartment, shortly after Mike leaves and Peg arrives, when Bunny and Sumner are recapping the afternoon's events for Peg. Sumner puts on the ruined shoes and grimaces as he tries to walk in them, which causes Bunny to laugh. He hobbles off stage and returns with his hat pulled down over his ears, his shirt dangling out of his pants, staggering as though drunk and talking crazy. This moment, including the women's hysterical laughter and Katharine Hepburn's nearly falling out of her chair, is spontaneous and not in the script.
The script called for a philodendron, but a rhododendron was placed on the set. Katharine Hepburn brought in her own philodendron, the one which almost encircled her office.
Although the technology of computerized research was only in its infancy when this film was made, the concern that computers might eventually replace most American workers (which is a major element in this film's plot) was on the minds of many an employee of the time.
William Marchant based Bunny Watson's character on librarian Agnes E. Law, who had built up the CBS network's research library.
The United States government's ENIAC machine, which EMARAC was based on, had the slogan "Making Machines Do More, So That Man Can Do Less."
"Bunny Watson: Have some tequila, Peg. Peg Costello: I don't think I should. There are 85 calories in a glass of champagne. Bunny Watson: I have a little place in my neighborhood where I can get it for 65."
"[Richard gives Bunny a personality test] Richard Sumner: Now what is the first thing you notice in a person? Bunny Watson: Whether the person is male or female."
