Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sheldon Leonard produced this immediately after 'The Andy Griffith Show' — his pivot to sophisticated adult comedy did not land.
This was ITC's attempt to replicate 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' success with a bigger movie star, but British co-production requirements and MacLaine's film schedule doomed it.
