The Shocking Miss Pilgrim Facts
"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on April 13, 1950 with Betty Grable again reprising her film role.
Decca recorded three songs from the Ira Gershwin score, substituting Judy Garland for Betty Grable: two duets by Garland and Dick Haymes, "For You, For Me, For Evermore" (lacking the verse Haymes crooned in the film) and "Aren't You Kinda Glad We Did?" (with a couple of different phrases from the movie rendition), along with a Garland solo, "Changing My Tune."
While Ira Gershwin fashioned the lyrics for this movie in 1946, the composer George Gershwin had died in 1937. With the aid of long time friend Kay Swift (herself a composer), Ira put together a number of George's unpublished melodies to provide a score for the film. "For You, For Me, For Evermore" became popular enough to make "Your Hit Parade" for two weeks.
In late 1944, the film was intended to be made as a Jeanne Crain vehicle.
Director John M. Stahl took over briefly as director while George Seaton was ill, prior to a more serious illness.
