Trivia
- The casino that was featured in the movie was the Aladdin Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
- In the scene where Joe Harris is looking through his old photos and other memorabilia, he looks at a photo of a young couple, presumably Joe and his wife, which made him start to cry. The photo is actually a picture of George Burns and his real (late) wife Gracie Allen. They were a famous show business team from vaudeville through early television.
