| Plot: | Sir William Rutland {"Bill") arrives in Tokyo a couple days early before the fortnight of the Olympic Games of 1964. With no hotel rooms available anywhere, Bill pulls a notice card from the British Embassy's bulletin board, and then he talks his way into subletting a room in Christine Easton's apartment. Soon, Bill encounters Steve Davis, an architecture student and an Olympic athlete, (who always avoids any identification of his event) who also has no room for the night, and so he sublets part of her apartment to Davis. Bill next tries to play matchmaker to the younger pair. |

Continuity: When Rutland leaves Haversacks office the Japanese flag is on his left (and Union Jack on his right) in the next shot it is on his right (and Union Jack on his left). Fact errors: At the race, the announcer says an Australian race-walker took 9th place with a time of 4 hours 53 minutes. 9th place was actually taken by Charles Sowa of Luxembourg with 4:20:37.2. 4:53:00 would have taken 28th place. Fact errors: At the race, Julius says the fastest time for the 50 km race-walk is "four hours and fifty-three minutes." At the time of the 1964 Olympics, the men's 50 km race-walk world record was actually 4:00:50. (At the time of the film's release, the record was 3:55:36.) |

Christine Easton: After 7:45, you can have the bathroom all day if you'd like. Sir William Rutland: I wouldn't know what to do in the bathroom all day! Christine Easton: I don't know why you wanted a room, you spend all of your time outside! Aiko Kurawa: [Referring to bedlam at police headquarters] You say all you have to do is place an advertisement on the bulletin board? Christine Easton: Uh-huh. |
