The Revuers (Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Judy Holliday and Alvin Hammer) received billing (as a group), but their one musical number, "The Baroness Bazooka," was cut from the release print. Their remaining roles are little better than extras.
Expecting her second daughter, Alice Faye was unable to star as Bonnie Watson. This film would have paired Alice Faye and Don Ameche for the seventh time.
The show stopper of this film is the performance of the 1914 standard "When You Wore a Tulip And I Wore A Big Red Rose" sung by Don Ameche, B.S. Pully, William Bendix and Felix Bressart.
Cinematographer Leon Shamroy left the film before it was finished because he was contracted to start Wilson (1944). Harry Jackson replaced Shamroy and completed the film uncredited, with Charles G. Clarke filling in when Jackson was unavailable.
This was lyricist, playwright, and screenwriter Betty Comden's (uncredited as Hat Check Girl) first on-screen appearance. Together with Adolph Green, she would become known as half of the longest running creative partnership in theatre history.
