- Trivia The original negative of the film was damaged during post-production, which resulted in the poor quality of all theatrical release prints.
Jane Powell : [watching a riot on TV] What do you expect if you keep taking people's jobs away?
Mark Varda : Got nothing to do with it.
Jane Powell : What do you mean?
Mark Varda : They don't want jobs. At least not the kind they're qualified to do. So even if we did manage to open all those steel mills and dog biscuit factories, we wouldn't get them to sign on.
Jane Powell : Are you saying they don't want to work?
Mark Varda : Oh, I dare say they wouldn't mind being president of IBM or a TV star. Or John McEnroe.
