Best Written American Comedy | 1963 | Larry
Jack Lemmon's father appears in the movie in a non-speaking role.
Though frequently shown on television throughout the 1970s, the film disappeared from circulation for nearly thirty years, one of very few Columbia star vehicles the studio neglected to release on beta, VHS or laserdisc. There was no legal wrangle at the core of this; the film simply fell out of favor and was largely forgotten. In recent years, The Notorious Landlady (1962) has returned to circulation, enjoying multiple releases on DVD and Blu-ray.
During a conversation with his landlady Kim Novak, Jack Lemmon asks her, "Do you know 'My Funny Valentine?'" In the 1957 film Pal Joey (1957), Kim Novak's character Linda English performs the song, "My Funny Valentine" during the rehearsals prior to Joey's night club's opening.
When this movie was shown on CBS' Thursday Night At The Movies in 1965, the reels were shown out of sequence. Nobody at the network noticed at first but at approximately 10:30 p.m. the movie suddenly stopped and an announcer's voice was heard apologizing for the mix up. CBS then showed the entire movie from the beginning and it finally ended at about 1 a.m.
Sammy Fain and Mack David wrote a title song for the film and Fred Astaire recorded it on May 16, 1962, but it wasn't included in the final release version of the film.
"William 'Bill' Gridley: Sir, if I may, I don't think you're taking the proper share of the blame... Franklyn Ambruster: Gridley, you will learn that the higher your position, the more mistakes you're allowed. In fact, if you make enough of them, it's considered your style. Now you happen to be in what I would call a one-mistake position, and you've made it."
"William 'Bill' Gridley: I'm a Democrat from New England - I have no prejudices."
