* AdamWesting: Anyone acquainted with Creator/VictorMature's work will recognize that as aging, over-the-hill matinee idol Tony Powell he's basically parodying himself. The old movie of Powell Aldo and Gina see at the movie theater is in fact an old movie of Mature's, 1949's ''Easy Living'' (not to be confused with [[Film/EasyLiving the 1937 film]] that's a ScrewballComedy).[[note]]Mature did note that other aspects of Randall were inspired by director Creator/VittorioDeSica himself, and that the part of having his assistant carry his chair for him was something he saw Creator/CecilBDeMille do.[[/note]]
