Trivia
The title song has never officially been issued in audio format, but Dolly Parton re-recorded it for her 2014 album "Blue Smoke."

Goofs
When Ruby walks into the bingo hall where Peter is calling out the numbers, she sits down at the table and plays a card, then Peter calls out "I-60." This cannot happen as the column "I" only has numbers 16-30.
