One Way Ticket spoofs mainly Love Affair (1939), starring French actor Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne. In case there were any confusion with the later remake, Vicky Lawrence even introduces herself as "Oupsenskaya". Maria Ouspenskaya starred in the aforementioned film, as Boyer's grand-mother. In a lesser way, it also spoofs "Dark Victory", but this is evident since one of the characters names the film & lead actress.
This edition was repeated on 28 December 1974.
