I remember him saying to MIT grads...

"My character was an MIT grad. That's why he could make a radio from coconuts but couldn't fix a hole in a boat."

Did you know Ginger was a Playboy pin up, and she was a natural redhead who was in demand in Hollywood.

The professor flew B-25's in WWII, a total of 44 missions.
