Line 54:
* [[Driving a Desk]]: Seen twice on July 4: first, Gus (not) driving Linda to the Inn, and not long after, Linda riding with Lila.
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: When Lila dumps Ted (by telegram), he orders scotch and soda -- "a bottle of each," according to maître d' François -- and consumes both entirely.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Fred Astaire's "Drunk Dance" New Year's Eve at the Inn: Astaire took a shot of bourbon before the first take, and drank two more shots before each subsequent take. What made it into the film was ''the seventh take''.
* [[Exact Words]]: Jim's comment to the director of the film-with-a-film, "I'll just stay in the background", turns out to be ''extremely'' literal when he secrets himself into the background of the ''set'', instead of going somewhere out of the way of the production crew as the director no doubt expected.
* [[Fictional Filming Procedure]]: [[The Oner]] being filmed at the climax of the film would be literally impossible to manage in the real world.
