Merv wrote both the score for this “raucous, little romp” of a movie, as well as the James-Bond-esque opening song, which he later reprises on camera.
Trivia:
- This is Merv’s first credit for producing an actual movie (as opposed to producing music).
- Merv has a cameo in the film as a cocktail-party guest, a few minutes before his on-camera performance of “Something To Shoot For.”
- The last 15 minutes of the movie was filmed in Merv’s home.
