Movie Trivia/Goofs

Professor Sutwell gives his first names as Robert Orville - the same as Bob Cummings's own adopted names.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Early in the film, when Frankie and Delores drive onto the beach towards their beach house for the first time, there's already a set of tire tracks in the sand from a previous take.
Although "old fogey" Professor Sutwell knew nothing about beach life, actor Robert Cummings was a competent surfer himself, as documented in personal home movies shot in Hawaii by Hollywood's television host and author Ken Murray.
Average Shot Length = ~7.1 seconds. Median Shot Length = ~6.4 seconds.
