* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Ms. Dellacroce's goal at the Majestic Hotel wasn't just to take part in the Crystal Ball, but was also a search for a new man. Despite supposedly being married, she's [[UnresolvedSexualTension clearly interested]] in Rutledge the few times they have scenes together, and she decided to [[CoitusEnsues do it]] with William, the hotel's masseur, under the belief that he just gave her an incredible massage (not knowing that Dunston did it). It's left ambiguous what happened to Mr. Dellacroce since all she says when Rutledge asks about him is that he's "not here," which could mean a multitude of things. She says something similar to William as well.

** The movie's main theme that you hear at the start as the Majestic Hotel gets ready to start the day makes for quite a catchy tune.

By itself, a poor animal sending itself plummeting to its doom isn't funny. When it turns out he landed safely in a pile of trash? Hilarious.
