Storyline

- TriviaBilly Wilder preferred shooting in black and white, but Marilyn Monroe's contract with Fox called for all of her movies to be shot in color. Monroe always thought that she looked far more attractive and glamorous in color than in black and white.
- GoofsBoth Richard and his boss, who are in the book publishing industry, refer to "The Portrait of Dorian Gray". The actual title of the Oscar Wilde novel is "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
- Crazy creditsWhen the title appears, one arm of the T in ITCH reaches down and scratches the stem of the letter.
- Alternate versionsVersion released in then West Germany contains some profanity.

Featured review
A comedic take on the male/female relationship from a male perspective 1950s version. This story never would fly as a product of the 21st century world let alone be a long running big Broadway hit and subsequently be made into a movie. It's subject is male dominance and masculine vulnerability to the seductive female as it collides with domestic family life. In this net is the family man presented to us in the unexciting presence of Tom Ewell meeting up with the glorious Marilyn Monroe at the height of her beauty. The movie in total is an entertaining offering representing the world that once was. The main attraction being Marilyn who captivates from beginning to end so irresistibly you can't take your eyes off her. This is Marilyn Monroe's movie from start to finish and for that reason alone makes it a must see.
