Holiday Inn/Headscratchers


 * Jim grudgingly agrees to the movie deal on July 4. On November 27 -- four and a half months later -- he is looking at a fan magazine that touts Ted and Linda as the newest Hollywood romance.  But they aren't even done making their first picture yet!  The filming alone won't be complete for nearly another month (final shoot on Christmas Eve), not to mention post-production work and everything else necessary to finish a movie.   Adding to that, monthly magazines are assembled weeks in advance of their publication date -- the one Jim's looking at was probably written and laid out in middle-late October.  Ted may be known because of his New York nightclub act, but Linda is a complete unknown.  Why are they being treated as Hollywood superstars?
 * Why did the movie director wait until Linda cried out "Jim!" to cut the filming, instead of doing so the moment Jim began to sing?
