Although all the singing was intended for June Allyson, Dolores Gray performed the title song over the main credits.
MGM originally wanted Esther Williams to star in this movie, but she didn't want any part in it.
The picture marked Charlotte Greenwood's last feature-film appearance of 33 since 1915.
When June Allyson slaps Joan Collins, June was told Joan would pull back before impact and Joan was told June would not strike her. The connection was made and we see a slap so hard, Joan's earrings fly off her ears. Joan would not speak to June for several days believing it was intentional.
