Goofs
Milton Berle was originally asked to emcee the PTA benefit, and agreed to that role. However, in the final scene, he's participating in a full skit with lines and a song that he would have had no time to learn considering he spent the days leading up to the benefit working on his book and then goes straight from the office to the benefit.

Quotes
Mr. Watson: Milton, the only way you'll ever meet this deadline is to hide out someplace.
Milton Berle: Maybe you're right.
Mr. Watson: Well, how about my place? It's up in the country, away from things.
Milton Berle: With your mother-in-law there all the time? Yakety-yakety-yak. Remember what happened to Ernest Hemingway the last time? Three days at your house and he fled to Cuba.
