Answer: A radio

When Howard and Eunice are checking into the hotel Judy is watching them. She takes a fancy to Howard and follows him into the hotel drugstore where she introduces herself. Judy decides to play games with him and before she leaves the store picks up a radio and puts it on the counter where she tells the cashier that Howard will pay for it.
The San Francisco Hilton Hotel was used as the location for the lobby and pharmacy sequences of the fictional 'Hotel Bristol.' The sequences in these parts of the hotel were shot late at night when the area required for filming could be closed off.

Answer: Rudy, your head waiter

Howard is attending the banquet for the Congress of American Musicologists as he is one of two candidates nominated to receive a funding award from the Frederick Larabee Foundation. Mr Larabee is also attending the banquet in order to meet the candidates. Howard, who has not seen or met Mr Larabee before, introduces himself to the person he mistakenly takes to be Mr Larabee but who in fact is Rudy the head waiter. The background music played during the American Musicologists banquet was taken from Thoinot Arbeau's "Orchesographie", which was a study of the late sixteenth century French renaissance social dance.

The pieces were unusually played in this instance on a Hammond organ and a sitar.

Answer: On the ledge outside Howard's room

A furious Eunice, who has been refused entry to the banquet due to Judy having secretly taken her place, calls Howard on the phone when he returns to his room to talk to him about the events which have happened. Judy, who has sneaked into Howards room before he returned, is talking to him while Eunice is on the phone. Eunice is suspicious and does not believe Howard when he says that it is the television programme that she can hear in the background. Eunice tells Howard she is going to come to Howard's room at once so Howard tells Judy she has to hide and pushes her onto the ledge outside his hotel room window.
When Judy is on the ledge of the hotel outside Howard Bannister's room, the shots were actually filmed on a sound stage in Burbank. The long shot of Judy actually hanging from the ledge was performed by a stunt woman and not Streisand, the location for this shot being at an unnamed building in Westwood, California.
'Whats Up Doc?' was the first American film to show the names of the stunt actors in the rolling credits.

Answer: As Time Goes By

When Howard finds Judy on top of the piano she greets him with the following line from the film 'Casablanca': "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, he walks into mine. Play it Sam." Judy then starts to sing the song, also from the film 'Casablanca', 'As Time Goes By'.
The scene in the cocktail lounge was not filmed on a set but in the Starlight Roof room of the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco, which was being remodeled at the time.
The view seen from the room over San Francisco is the actual view from that room.
The song 'As Time Goes By' was recorded live by Streisand at the time the scene was shot so that a natural sound would be reflected as she stepped down from the top of the piano.

Answer: A grocery delivery bike

Eunice, who has been sent to the wrong address for the Larabee Foundation by Judy, who posed as Mr Larabee's secretary, finds herself with the jewel thieves who have the plaid case which contains Howard's rocks. When Eunice asks them why they have Howard's rocks they think that Howard must have the case containing the jewels so they take Eunice with them to the Larabee house where they know Howard will be. Howard has already discovered that he has the case with the jewels and and that Judy has the case with the Top Secret documents.

While fighting breaks out Judy and Howard grab all four plaid cases and make their getaway on a grocery delivery bike parked outside. Ryan O'Neal's brother Kevin played the part of the delivery boy whose bike is taken by Howard and Judy.
