Trivia Although considerable publicity announced the return of Billie Dove to the screen in this film after a thirty year absence, her scenes ended up on the cutting room floor, and she is nowhere to be seen. This film would have been her last. See more »
Goofs (at around 11 mins) King touches his plane down on the runway, and Mario is shown driving up in a Jeep to meet the plane about seven seconds later; however, the plane is parked very near to where it landed. At landing velocity, an aircraft would have been hundreds of yards down the runway (no reverse thrust with propellers) and could not possibly have returned to that spot by the time Mario drives up (seconds after touchdown).

Quotes Dr. Dean Kahanna: [to Sloane] There's a war going on inside your head, it up to you who win's. If Paul had lived he would have had to battle your brother for you for the rest of your life. As for me, I wouldn't sleep well three to a bed.
