 It starts off with her singing "It's a Most Unusual Day", and then shows an ephemeral film being made.
 The ending has her singing the Chevrolet jingle with shots of Chevrolet cars and America.

 In film, Meeker is perhaps best known for his portrayal Mike Hammer in Robert Aldrich's 1955 film noir cult classic "Kiss Me Deadly".
Kiss Me Deadly is an independently made 1955 American black-and-white science fiction film noir, produced and directed by Robert Aldrich, that stars Ralph Meeker.

Murder Me, Murder You is a made-for-television movie starring Stacy Keach as Mickey Spillane's iconic hard-boiled private detective, Mike Hammer.
 The movie was a follow-up to another TV-movie first aired in 1981, "Margin for Murder", in which the fictitious gumshoe was portrayed by Kevin Dobson.
 The Dobson movie, which did not lead to a series, marked the first time the character was depicted on the small-screen since Darren McGavin played the part in the black-and-white version of "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer", a syndicated television series (1958–60).
 "Murder Me, Murder You" was the first of two pilots featuring Keach in the part - the other being "More Than Murder" - that blazed a path for the 1980s version of the CBS series "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer" which debuted on January 28, 1984.
April in Paris is a 1952 musical film starring Doris Day and Ray Bolger.
 It was directed by David Butler.
Kiss Me, Deadly (1952) is Mickey Spillane's sixth novel featuring private investigator Mike Hammer.
 The novel was later adapted into the film "Kiss Me Deadly" in 1955.
