Trivia:
The movie's title song, "Little Sister" was originally recorded by New York studio musicians but the producers were not happy with the vocal performance (rumored to be songwriter Norman Gimbel himself). They turned to executives at MGM Records who suggested that members from their newly signed star group, Orpheus, re-record the song. The producers agreed and the Orpheus version was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York. Only Orpheus lead singer, Bruce Arnold and backup singer, Jack McKenes were on the track since the music had been pre-recorded. However, future Orpheus member and legendary studio musician, Bernard Pretty Purdie, plays drums on the song's backing track. moreQuotes:

This movie is a classic. The combination of Chandler's writing and Garner's approach to the character make this a must see for any fan. Garner plays a slightly harder version of the Rockford detective he will later portray and pulls it off flawlessly. As an added bonus for the male audience, check out Rita Moreno's strip dance in the final scene. HOT!!! Also appearing in a great supporting role, Carroll O'Connor as the street tough lieutenant.
