Did You Know?
| Trivia | Before Las Vegas became easily accessible, the state of Maryland was a haven for people who wanted to get married with a minimum of restrictions. Many couples in movies went there to get married quickly. In addition to this film, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn eloped to Maryland in Woman of the Year (1942), and Rock Hudson and Doris Day woke up in a motel in Maryland legally (to their surprise) married in Lover Come Back (1961).

| Goofs | When Joe is in the Greek Orthodox church, Latin music is heard in the background. This would be sung at a Roman Catholic church, but never at a Greek Orthodox one. See more » |
