    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In an interview, Alan Arkin talked about the Oscar nominations he received for his early major film roles (The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966) and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1968)). When asked if he was surprised that he was overlooked for Wait Until Dark, his second movie, he replied: "You don't get nominated for being mean to Audrey Hepburn!"
    • Goofs
      Susy demonstrates excellent hearing and observation skills: she can tell when people are in her apartment, notices Carlino dusting for prints, people fiddling with the blinds, Roat's squeaky shoes, etc. However, she does not appear to notice the rotary-dial mismatch between the telephone number Mike Tallman says he's calling and the number he actually dials. It's easy to tell what number is being dialed if you listen and count the number of clicks.
    • Quotes
      • Susy Hendrix: Gloria?
      • Gloria: Yeah?
      • Susy Hendrix: How would you like to do something difficult and terribly dangerous?
      • Gloria: I'd love it!
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits show each character with the performer's credit; Alan Arkin is shown three times, including once in each disguise.
