Behind the scenes
- Popeye owns a lifebuoy from the sunken Titanic.
- Even though Polly's mouth moves at the end, her own distinctive voice doesn't come through.
Errors
- Popeye's parents aren't mentioned.
- When Dee Dee says to Olive, "Oh, what a romantic story. Popeye must have really loved you," it comes out of Olive's mouth.
- Despite Dee Dee helping bring Popeye and Olive back together, she is oddly absent when everyone's at Wimpy's.
