Revealing mistake: When Spats Columbo's gangsters are being searched for weapons at the Florida Hotel, the man doing the pat search can be seen placing the gun behind the gangster's leg, just before it supposedly drops out of his trouser leg.
Revealing mistake: When Joe and Gerald escape down the balconies you can see that the view of the ocean is painted, specifically the waves don't move.
Continuity mistake: It is supposed to be night when Joe slips out of the hotel, but a daytime sky is visible.
Sugar: Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
Trivia: Not a mistake, just a fact. According to I.A.L. Diamond,Tony Curtis' "Josephine" voice was dubbed by another actor, as Curtis couldn't speak high enough.
Question: I'm sure I have seen this film in colour. Does anyone know if it has ever been shown in colour?
Chosen answer: I've seen it colorized several times on TNT and FMC.
