Trivia
By the time this movie premiered Leslie Caron's husband had divorced her, as she had been in a long term affair with Warren Beatty. Because Beatty had been determined the reason for the divorce, the British court ordered him to pay for all of the court costs.

Goofs
In the 'building-block bridge' demonstration for John Thomas, Harley places a red block on top which becomes blue in the subsequent wider shot.

Quotes
Dr. Philip Brock: But you don't understand, he is a very exceptional child.
Harley Rummel: Of course, he's an exceptional child - he's mine.
Dr. Philip Brock: No. Absolutely not. You have signed a release.
Harley Rummel: I want my baby. I can't live without him!
Dr. Philip Brock: Mr. Rummel, don't you want your baby cured?
Harley Rummel: I want him home.
Dr. Philip Brock: But you must leave him here - in the interests of science.
Harley Rummel: Science! Science! what does science know of a father's love? Can it mend a broken heart?
Dr. Philip Brock: Now you listen to me. Now this child remains here tonight. We've got to photograph him before...
Harley Rummel: Photograph him! Don't you dare turn a camera on that child. Do you hear? Who gave you the right, who gave you the permission to exploit my son?
Dr. Philip Brock: No one is exploiting your son. Cinematography is an invaluable tool of medical research.
Harley Rummel: It's a tool of the devil!
Dr. Philip Brock: Oh, it's nothing of the sort. It's almost on a par with x-ray when it comes to scientific...
Harley Rummel: Don't tell me what movies are good for him. Just give me the kid!
Dr. Philip Brock: No! Absolutely not. You signed a release. The child remains here. You can have him back tomorrow.
Harley Rummel: Doctor, I will pray on bended-knees for socialized medicine!

Holy cow

So whenever I say to people, well you know the movies were so much better in the 30-60's I have to think about this and several other 60's romantic comedies that shouldn't have played well then and certainly don't play well now. Bob Cummings is a nice guy but him playing a major role isn't a good sign, Leslie is okay, but Beatty puts in a flat miserable performance. I have to admit I only watched part of the movie and checked in periodically but I don't think I missed a thing.
