Directed by: W.S. Van Dyke

Continuity mistake: When Dorothy visits Nick at the hotel during the Christmas party Nick opens the door with a clear ice bucket full of ice. He goes into a room to talk with Dorothy and exits the room 2 to 3 minutes later. When he is seen leaving the room the bucket is full of water. It was too short a time for the ice to melt.
Nora Charles: Who is she?
Nick Charles: Oh, darling, I was hoping I wouldn't have to answer that.
Nora Charles: Come on.
Nick Charles: Well, Dorothy is really my daughter. You see, it was spring in Venice and I was so young, I didn't know what I was doing. We're all like that on my father's side.
Nora Charles: By the way, how is your father's side?
Nick Charles: Oh, it's much better, thanks. And yours?
Nora Charles: If that knife's missing, I'll look for it in your back.
Nick Charles: Now don't make a move or that dog will tear you to shreds.
