Hope's girlfriend in the film (Shirley Eaton) was 33 years (7 months and 14 days) younger than him (Hope was born May 29, 1903, Eaton January 12, 1937).
The knight on horseback that appears during the climactic chase was a reference to a then-popular series of commercials for Ajax Laundry Detergent. And Jasper's line, "Please, Mother, I'd rather do it myself!" refers to a series of ads for Anacin pain reliever.
Eleanora Avis "Nora" Hope was one of Bob Hopes adopted children.
