Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was Jack Lemmon's second feature film, and the second time he was paired on-screen opposite Judy Holliday. They were first cast together in It Should Happen to You (1954), Lemmon's debut film, from 1954.
- GoofsLate in the movie when Charlie is visiting Nina at her home, Charlie and Nina walk over to the couch. It is too dark there and when Nina begins to sit down, the crew turns on an extra light to brighten the scene.
- Quotes
Charlie Nelson: A mustache is a very important thing. That's part of the famous Charlie Nelson theory in the efficacy of face hair in dealing with the opposite sex.
Robert Tracey: [Slightly taken aback] What?
Charlie Nelson: Always remember this: dames become unpredictable when faced with a mustache. It both arouses, and angers them, because... being as it is a symbol of masculinity, they feel drawn toward it.

Featured review
Strike a light
Once in a while this movie offers glimpses of fun amidst the flashbacks and repetitive scenes. Kim Novak's Monroe-esque appearance brings a little relief but otherwise it's easy to get distracted. Watch out for the joke with the lamp in the window - quite a gem and wonderfully played by Lemmon and Novak. I believe the title of the film is the sound of a match extinguishing. It's referenced quite close to the beginning in the close-up on the gossip column.
