TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

This film is based on the 1972 book of the same name by John Godey. This book was previously made into film in 1974 starring Walter Matthau.
In the original film the main character was named Zachary Garber, however in homage to Walter Matthau who originated the role in 1974, the character's name was changed to Walter Garber. The costume he wears pays tribute as well as it is inverted version of what Matthau wore in the original. Originally Matthau wore a multicolored shirt with a solid yellow tie, while in this film Washington wears a solid yellow short with a multi-colored tie.
