Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen getting ready for their dinner with the ladies, Oscar jokingly asks, "You think Mozart goes good with meatloaf?" Walter Matthau was a passionate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart enthusiast, and had extensive knowledge of his work.
- GoofsThe copyright date is shown as MCMXLVII (1947) instead of MCMLXVII (1967) as the copyright year for the film during the opening credits.
- Quotes
Oscar Madison: I can't take it anymore, Felix, I'm cracking up. Everything you do irritates me. And when you're not here, the things I know you're gonna do when you come in irritate me. You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. "We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!
- Crazy creditsWhen the credits for Cecily and Gwendolyn Pigeon are displayed, they are first in the wrong order (since Oscar also keeps mixing them up) and after a couple of seconds they shift to their correct positions.
