* HilariousInHindsight:
** Not the last time Creator/RicardoMontalban played a character named [[Series/FantasyIsland (O')Ro(u)(a)rke]].
** A man with a Spanish first name and the last name [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beto_O%27Rourke O'Rourke]], you say?
** Creator/MelBlanc's voice for Pancho sounds like WesternAnimation/BugsBunny imitating WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales, a few years before Speedy debuted (though the Mexican accent had long been one of Blanc's stock voices).

* IdiotPlot: With as big a deal as this polo match is supposed to be, you'd think everyone would know what handsome star player Jose O'Rourke looks like. At the very least, his picture should've made the papers at some point.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Modern performances of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" that attempt to be subversive by having the female singer in the "wolf" role seem to be unaware that it was actually presented that way in this film, with the Garrett/Skelton version immediately following the straight Montalban/Williams performance.

Added DiffLines:

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The [[BusbyBerkeleyNumber Esther Williams Number]] is justified in-universe as a swimsuit display event featuring a well-known swimmer, but an earlier fashion show for her swimsuits pauses the plot for a few minutes ''only'' for some {{Fanservice}}.

** Not the last time Creator/RicardoMontalban played a character named [[Series/FantasyIsland (O')Ro(u)(a)rke]].

* JustHereForGodzilla: These days people watch it mostly to see "Baby, It's Cold Outside" in its original context, plus the obligatory Esther Williams aquacade.
* ValuesDissonance:
** Yes, there's quite a spirited modern debate over "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Check out Website/{{Twitter}} every December for the details.
** The Latino characters are all the usual stereotypes.
* ValuesResonance: She's TheDitz and her character is PlayedForLaughs, but Betty doesn't get subjected to any SlutShaming.
