Goofs
After Joe returns to his apartment upon finding out from his boss that Princess Ann is sleeping there, he straightens the bed, moves the pillow, and moves Ann from the couch back to the bed. In the process of tidying his apartment, he moves his alarm clock to the center of the top of the bed's headboard. In the scenes following while Ann awakes, as the camera cuts back and forth, the clock changes places back and forth from the center to the left on the headboard.

The opening credits have been digitally changed on the R1 DVD release in order to include a Story credit for Dalton Trumbo, who was not credited on the original release due to the Blacklist. The 2020 Blu-Ray release went further and gave Trumbo a Screenplay credit as well.
