Trivia
(at around 22 mins) Cary Grant tells Ginger Rogers that he will always remember her character "just the way you look tonight", evoking a smirk from Rogers. The line alludes to the song of the same title that Fred Astaire sang to Rogers in Sur les ailes de la danse (1936).

Goofs
Famous footage of Adolf Hitler visiting Paris is shown. Following this, many scenes (and many days) occur before the Baron is called in to see Hitler, yet it is well-recorded that Hitler's visit to the city lasted only 3 hours.

Quotes
Patrick O'Toole: [ending his coerced radio speech] You can tell it to the Army. And you can tell it to the Navy. And most of all, you can tell it to the Marines!

Better than one might be led to believe

Although there is a silly side to this movie, I really don't think that its only value is as a curiosity. In reality, it was a singular vehicle for Ginger Rogers to flex her acting muscles, instead of merely being a sidekick in a dance routine. She is something to behold in this movie. And, I maintain that if you are a Cary Grant fan, it's nothing to sit through this slightly confectionery film. It is practically astonishing that the Jewish issue was addressed in a movie made in 1942. Finally, it's worth pointing out that any average film from this period is Shakespearean compared to the dreck on offer most of the time these days.
