Continuity mistake: When Thorndike is running to the park's storage shed to escape the pigeons dive-bombing, the back of his jacket has a set number of prominent pigeon dropping marks, yet when he enters the shed there are more markings seen, and all are smeared across the jacket.

Trivia: When Dr. Thorndyke is checking into the hotel in San Francisco, he is informed a "Mr. MacGuffin" has changed his room number. "MacGuffin" is a movie-making term popularized by Alfred Hitchcock referring to a plot device that drives the story, but what the object actually is or does is irrelevant.

Question: What is the name of the song that blasts in Dr. Wentworth's car and causes his ears to rupture? Or was it something created for the movie?
