Line 1:
{{
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** The [[Boris Karloff]] [[Casting Gag]] below (which was only for the original run of the play).
** For the movie, Cary Grant leans against a tombstone with the name "Archibald Leach" (his real name).
** The casting of Peter Lorre as a crazed German surgeon may be a callback to ''Mad Love''.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: You might not recognize Mr. Witherspoon's face, but you've probably heard Edward Everett Horton narrating "Fractured Fairy Tales" on ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]''.
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: [[Inverted]]-- [[Cary Grant]] was so dissatisfied with his performance in this movie that he donated his entire salary from it to charity rather than profit from it at all.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Cary Grant, who usually plays suave and sophisticated characters, in the movie plays a character who starts out like that, but becomes increasingly panicked and flustered as the story goes on.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Frank Capra originally wanted [[Bob Hope]] to play Mortimer in the film, but Hope was under contract with [[Paramount]], who refused to loan him out. [[Jack Benny]] and [[Ronald Reagan]] were also considered for the role before they settled on Grant.
