Answer: Sally

Gwendolyn was the first to go out with Catch when he stood up Barbara for lunch. Yvette was the second to assist in Catch not meeting Barbara for dinner. Elkie was the third by "way-laying" Catch to miss breakfast where he was to finally meet Barbara. Sally was Catch's new secretary at the beginning of the movie.

5. When Catcher Block first calls Barbara at her apartment to invite her to lunch for his interview, where does he ask Barbara to meet him?

Answer: The Mahogany Room restaurant

The Judy Garland character was portrayed by Vivien Latham.

Peter MacMannus is the owner of "KNOW magazine". Theodore Banner is the President of Banner House books. Peyton Reed is the director of the movie. Zip Martin was created by two signs, one stating "Zippers Repaired", the second stating "Martinizing Specialists". Martinizing is a dry-cleaning franchise.

Answer: Johnny Trementus

Johnny Trementus was played by actor, Brad Hanson.

9. When Catch and Peter trade apartments for a night, Catch told Peter that Vicki would need to spend how much time in Catch's apartment before forgetting all about dinner?

Answer: 10 minutes

In this scene, Catch wants to trade apartments for the night with Peter, to continue his ruse with Barbara, making her think he made dinner for them and to show her he doesn't have a "woman-snaring" bachelor pad.

10. What item did Catch NOT send Barbara to try and win her back?

Answer: teddy bear

Peter: "She's thrown away everything you sent her - the flowers, the candy, the $6,000 state-of-the-art Celestron telescope that wasn't really for you to send because it was mine, not yours."

11. The title of the expose Catch writes as his love letter to Barbara was titled "Catcher Block Explained: How Love Did Me Wrong".

Answer: False

The title of the expose was titled, "Catcher Block Expose: How Falling in Love With Barbara Novak Made Me a New Man." The expose was Catch's love letter to Barbara to try to win her back.

12. Which color did Barbara NOT have her hair?

Answer: black

Throughout most of the movie, Barbara has blond hair. We see pictures of Barbara as Nancy Brown, a brunette (she also states she was a brunette when she confesses to Catch). At the end of the movie, she turns into something between a blond and brunette - a redhead.

13. What is Barbara's real name?

Answer: Nancy Brown

Sarah Paulson portrays Vicki Hiller. Rachel Dratch portrays Gladys, Vicki's secretary. Jeri Ryan portrays stewardess Gwendolyn. Nancy Brown is Barbara's real name. She uses the alias (and a hair color change) to trick Catch so he won't remember she was his former secretary.

David Hyde Pierce portrays Peter MacMannus. Jack Plotnik portrays Maurice, the Banner House cover designer for Barbara's book. Jack Lemmon does not appear in this movie.

Answer: True

The actors themselves requested this duet, as they had both been in a musical prior to filming this movie. Renee portrayed Roxie Hart in "Chicago" and Ewan portrayed Christian in "Moulin Rouge".
