TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The department store scenes were shot on the 7th floor of the David Jones building in the Sydney CBD. The 7th floor had remained disused for many years and still looked just as it did in 1959. The film crew only had one day to film these scenes as the next day renovations were due to begin on the building and the 7th floor would be inaccessible.

Whilst Goodes department store is a fictional business it is loosely based on the Australian department store chain David Jones Limited.

For exterior shots of the Goodes department store the Downing Centre courthouse complex in the Sydney CBD was used. Prior to being used as a courthouse, this building was home to Mark Foy's Limited,which coincidentally was a a major Sydney department store that traded from 1885 until 1980.

Mr. Ryder (Nicholas Hammond) the concierge of Goodes Department Store, was Friedrich Von Trapp in The Sound of Music (1965).

Fay (Rachael Taylor) is at home and after showering she is seen watching a feature length movie, on her black and white television screen. Lydia MacMillan (Merle Oberon) and Bob Willard (George Reeves) are heard and seen dancing together, in a short sequence from the Alexander Korda Films, United Artists released movie called Lydia (1941).
