Production Notes

The title caused the film problems in some parts of the States. Newspapers in Los Angeles ¹Boxoffice vol.83 no.20 (9 September 1963) p.W-4 and Albuquerque ²Variety vol.233 no.8 (15 January 1964) p.18 refused to run ads for the film, forcing exhibitors to run ads with the title obscured by the words “Call theatres for a most provocative title” and set up an phoneline where callers would hear the recorded message: “Knockers Up, Knockers Up – see our Knockers Up.”
