Notes[]

Production[]

  • Don Ameche, who plays Rose's birth father, was only fourteen years older than Betty White.

Cultural references[]

  • Rose thinks the monk is possibly a "Trekkie" but she is confusing "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" so "Trekkie" would not be the correct term. Alec Guinness' character in "Star Wars" wears a similar robe.

Goofs[]

  • At the hospital, when Rose calls the number for the next patient, she says, "Number 43", but the number is clearly 42.
  • When Rose visits her father in his room the first time, her sweater has a flowered pattern. When she visits the second time, her sweater is solid green.
  • Dorothy takes the "next to be served" number, and the next number is lower than the one she took.
