    Edit
    • Trivia
      The extra scene at the end with Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellweger singing a duet was filmed at the insistence of Zellweger and McGregor. They said that with both of them having been in musicals previously (McGregor in Moulin Rouge! (2001) and Zellweger in Chicago (2002)) that it would be a sin not to.
    • Goofs
      When Barbara confesses to Catcher in his apartment, they are both standing, but when Gwendolyn enters his apartment and races to Barbara after she over-hears Catcher say "Barbara Novak", Catcher is sitting on the edge of the bed.
    • Quotes

      Catcher Block: [as Zip Martin] Can you keep a secret?

      Barbara Novak: Yes.

      Catcher Block: [as Zip Martin] Me too.

    • Crazy credits
      The movie opens with the big CinemaScope logo 20th Century Fox used fifty years before.
    • Alternate versions
      The TV version distributed in the UK excludes most of the split-screen phone call, presumably for time and due to the potential interpretation of the cinematography.
    • Connections
      Edited from Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957)

    Corny but amusing over the top parody

    This parody of the 60s movies has zero subtlety, but is amusing and full of references. It is somewhat analytic, has some nice jokes and a lot of in-jokes, but is concerned more with commenting and it is not terribly sophisticated. Still, worth a watch, especially if you know the work Rock Hudson and his magnum opus of trivial love. Extra credit for being prescient about the absurdities of the upcoming age of over the top woke hys teria.
