Filmed in 1950, but not released until 1951.
Operatic bass Ezio Pinza made his film debut in this musical.
Singer/actress Nina Koshetz was replaced by Ann Codee in the role of Anna Pelan.
This is one of a handful of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer productions of the 1950-1951 period whose original copyrights were never renewed and are now apparently in Public Domain; for this reason this title is now offered, often in very inferior copies, at bargain prices, by numerous VHS and DVD distributors who do not normally handle copyrighted or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer material.
This movie turned out to be such a stinker that MGM waited to release it until after Ezio Pinza's second film, Strictly Dishonorable.
