    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was Doris Day's first acting role, and she was extremely naive about how movies were made. She wrote in her autobiography that the first scenes to be filmed would be aboard the cruise ship, and on the first day, she walked onto the sound stage and asked when they would be leaving for the boat. The crew broke up laughing.
    • Goofs
      About an hour into the movie, Georgia and Peter are smoking and talking at the ship's rail. When Georgia (Doris Day) tosses her cigarette "overboard", you can hear it land on the studio floor.
    • Quotes
      • Michael Kent: Are you a good detective?
      • Peter Virgil: Naturally, why?
      • Michael Kent: Where did you do your traning?
      • Peter Virgil: In the army. Intelligence G2.
      • Michael Kent: Well how are you at the job?
      • Peter Virgil: We won the war didn't we?
    • Crazy credits
      The credits is opened by a businessman's hand and each credit has a different tropical and paradise scene.
    • Alternate versions
