Towards the end, when George Raft marries Frankie Avalon and Donyale Luna, Raft's wedding-service manual is clearly seen as "The Death of God".
Otto Preminger became so fascinated with his son Erik Lee Preminger's description of life as a dropout in New York's Greenwich Village that when a mere writing sample from Doran William Cannon passed his desk, Preminger wanted to shoot the writing sample as opposed to the actual script, because the sample explored the hippie existence and LSD-tripping.
In the film's TV-viewing opening, Otto Preminger's film In Harm's Way is featured. Preminger always complained about having his films cut to pieces on TV. Thus, Carol Channing's character says, "No, I never watch films on TV . . . they always cut them to pieces."
Groucho Marx's LSD trip is the subject of the article "My Acid Trip with Groucho" by Paul Krassner, Yippie founder and editor/publisher of famed satirical magazine The Realist.
Cast members Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Cesar Romero and director Otto Preminger all appeared playing villains on the TV series Batman. Arnold Stang also appeared on the show uncredited in one episode.
