TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Certain elements of the plot resemble True Lies, in which Jamie Lee Curtis becomes involved with government agents without knowing her husband is really a spy. In this movie, Janet Leigh becomes involved with government agents while thinking her husband (Tony Curtis) works for the FBI, even though he doesn't. Jamie Lee Curtis is the daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.

Shirley MacLaine was originally supposed to star but she changed her mind, and made "Can-Can" with Frank Sinatra instead.

The filming of this almost-two-hour movie took just 27 days. George Sidney claimed he was given a 40-day schedule by Columbia and had suggested to them that he could do it in just ten; they were shocked by the suggestion that a big-budget 'A' picture with important stars could be done so short a time, and Sidney compromised by doing it in 27 days, saying that doing things fast added to the fun.

Based upon the comedy "Who Was That Lady I Saw You With" which opened at the Martin Beck Theater in New York City on March 30, 1958 staring Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy and ran for 208 performances.

Tony Curtis [David Wilson] & Larry Storch [Orenov] would play in six movies together in the 1960s: "Who Was That Lady" - 1960 "40 Pounds of Trouble" - 1962 "Captain Newman, M.D." - 1963 "Wild and Wonderful" - 1964 "Sex & The Single Girl" - 1964 "The Great Race" - 1965.
