    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Joan Crawford, recently elected to the board of directors of Pepsi-Cola after the death of her husband who had been President and CEO of the company, managed to swing a brief quasi product plug for the soft drink by having an unmistakable Pepsi machine (with the red, white, and blue Pepsi logo, but sans the word "Pepsi") installed in the secretaries' on-screen break room.
    • Goofs
      In the scene when Diane Baker tells Hope Lange "he's ten foot tall to me" while walking down the street, several people... two men and two young boys... look into the camera, smiling (they were obviously filming with a camera hidden in a car during these scenes as those people weren't extras).
    • Quotes
      • Amanda Farrow: Now you and your rabbit-faced wife can both go to hell!
    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox logo plays without the usual fanfare.
