    • Trivia
      It was agreed Cary Grant would keep all of his clothes on when he took a shower, as he was nearly sixty and slightly overweight. However, they then decided the scene was funnier that way.
    • Goofs
      The sign outside the embassy would not read "American Embassy." It would read "Embassy of the United States of America" or "Ambassade des États-Unis d'Amérique."
    • Quotes

      Reggie Lampert: Is there a Mrs. Cruikshank...?

      Adam Canfield: Yes.

      Reggie Lampert: But you're divorced.

      Adam Canfield: No...

      Reggie Lampert: [Regina's face falls] Oh.

      Adam Canfield: [Brian/Adam gets out his wallet to show her the picture] My mother, she lives in Detroit, you'd like her, she'd like you too.

    • Crazy credits
      During the last scene, the screen splits into a checkerboard screens showing their ending kiss along with Cary Grant's funniest scenes from the movie and "The End."
    • Alternate versions
      When first released, Hepburn's line "at any moment we could be assassinated" was dubbed over to become "at any moment we could be eliminated" due to the Kennedy assassination. Subsequent releases have "assassinated" restored to its place in the film.

    8/10
    Ingenious teaming of many genuine talents.
    Terrific movie that can be perceived both as a first-rate piece of straight entertainment, and as a meditation on the thin line separating truth and lie. Ingenious script, dialogue filled with funny interplay, great chemistry between the two charismatic stars, vivid and fast-paced direction by Stanley Donen. Not quite in the league of "North By Northwest", but still a very entertaining and recommendable picture. (***)
