In the last scene of this television movie, Gene Wilder is singing a song and whirling his girl friend around on a handcart. He passes a display of flags and a poster advertising the next years' New York World's Fair (the Fair started in 1939, making the year 1938). The flag of the Spanish Republic (in use in 1938) had its seal in the middle of the flag and had a purple bottom stripe; the filmmakers used a modern Spanish flag, not introduced until 1981, instead.
