In the bar scene early in the movie, when Pete is trying to give the wrapped gift to Dorinda and she is resistant, this is almost perfect duplication of a scene early in the movie "A Guy Named Joe," upon which this movie is based. In both movies, Jack finally jokingly throws the box over Dorinda's head and it lands on a flight of stairs, falling open, revealing the elegant dress. And in both movies, Dorinda's attitude and manner completely change when she turns around and sees the dress.
