Did you know
- TriviaThe stack of baby photos which they sort through includes one used in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) eight years earlier.
- GoofsAlmost an hour in, as Zachary Scott is convincing Betsy Drake to present Sam's campaign to Cyrus Baxter, he leads her out of the office door, saying, "Now remember, Patsy, the code of the firm..." As Sam's office door closes, at the top of the door can be seen the very bright studio lights that were used to light the scene before."

Barry Holmes: [after sitting down with Patsy and Morley for lunch, gives his order to the waiter] *Just* a cup of coffee, please.
Patsy Douglas: Really, Mr. Holmes, a hard-working executive like you should have a hot lunch.
Barry Holmes: [looks to the waiter] Very well, just scramble me a couple of Benzedrine tablets.

Featured review
Motherhood can be tough
Delightfully absurd comedy in which Betsy Drake plays Patsy Douglas, a secretary working for an advertising agency. Their most important account is Baxter's Babyfoods, and since Patsy has noticed that women carrying babies get given seats on the subway, one night she steals the discarded doll that has been used in the advertising display, in order to get a seat on her way home. It just happens that Cyrus Baxter (Edmund Gwenn) owner of Baxter's Babyfoods, is travelling on the same train. This leads to unforeseen complications, and Patsy finds herself having to play the role of single parent to her 'baby'. Then thing start to get really complicated. The whole thing is very silly but great fun.
