The film was remade in 1986 for an American audience as Down and Out in Beverly Hills, directed by Paul Mazursky.
Down and Out in Beverly Hills is a 1986 American comedy film based on the French play Boudu sauvé des eaux, which had previously been adapted on film in 1932 by Jean Renoir.
In addition to his Doctor Who novelisations, Marter wrote adaptations of several 1980s American films such as Splash and Down and Out in Beverly Hills for Target and its imprint, Star Books.
The song, "Great Gosh A'Mighty", co-written by Richard and Billy Preston, was a modest US hit after it was featured in the soundtrack of Down and Out in Beverly Hills.
