    • Trivia
      Barbara Carroll's debut.
    • Goofs
      James R. Justice's accent keeps switching between (his authentic) Scottish and Irish.
    • Quotes
      • Dorinda Hatch: Well, what makes HER so important ?
      • Potsy: She don't take no "stuff" from nobody... unless she wants to. Then she takes anything that isn't nailed down.
      • Dorinda Hatch: Well, I think it's disgusting. Why any woman could get a man like that if she wanted to. I know I could... couldn't I ?
      • Potsy: You don't have the stuff it takes to take the stuff you don't have.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits show a woman's hands opening a gift card from a fancily wrapped present, which starts the credits. The next shot is the opening of the gift itself, which turns out to be a book with the title of the movie (based on a book a female author writes).
