    Plot Outline: At a mayors convention in San Francisco, ex-longshoreman Steve Fisk meets Clarissa Standish from New England...
    Plot: At a mayors convention in San Francisco, ex-longshoreman Steve Fisk meets Clarissa Standish from New England. Fisk is mayor of "Puget City" and is proud of his rough and tumble background. Standish is mayor of "Winona, Maine", and is equally proud of her education and dedication to the people who elected her. Thrown together, the two opposites attract and their escapades during the convention get each of them in hot water back home.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    Prior to the opening credits there is a disclaimer, the unusual portion of which reads: "This movie is for entertainment purposes. Academy Entertainment, Inc. does not advocate or endorse any of the activities or the ideas contained herein. This movie is not intended as an accurate portrayal of true witches."

    Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Factual errors: On the chess board shown at the beginning (and then again later in the movie) the main character promotes the pawn to a knight which both he and the computer claim is a checkmate for black. It isnt a checkmate, since white can then take the knight with the bishop. There is a mate in three for black (rook to g2, white is forced to move the king into the corner, rook to a1, white is forced to interpose the bishop, rook takes bishop = checkmate)

    Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • Production was briefly suspended when Loretta Young had a miscarriage.
    • Dore Schary (the head of MGM) asked Loretta Young to be Clark Gables costar even though he knew about the affair and love child between the two actors. She accepted because refusing would lead to more rumors than during their affair
    • The scenes that are supposed to be in Chinatown, really were filmed in Chinatown Los Angeles. Production also included interiors of the "Rice Bowl" restaurant as well as the bar areas. They were not sets on a Hollywood stage, but the real locations.
