    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Carroll Baker says, "The production company wouldn't pay Aaron Copland's fee to do the score, so Jack (Garfein) and I paid him ourselves. I had to appear in two or three westerns after that just to make up the difference."
    • Goofs
      The same NYC Transit cop that helped MaryAnn on the platform is the same cop who brought her home in a patrol car. In those days the Transit Police would have had to hand her over to an NYPD Officer if she needed to be taken home in a patrol car as the Transit Cops in 1961 would not have been able to leave their posts and had no access to a patrol vehicle.

      • Mike: You're my last chance.
      • Mary Ann Robinson: I'm what?
      • Mike: I said, you're my last chance.
