The real Stage Door Canteen at 216 W. 44th St., Times Square, was unable to be used for filming, as it was still an operating nightclub during World War II. As such, for this movie, it was re-created at R.K.O. Radio Pictures studios in Culver City, California.
Producer Sol Lesser paid the Stage Door Canteen $50,000 for the use of its name. They and Allied Charities received the profits from this movie.
Most of the cameo appearances in this movie were filmed at R.K.O. Radio Pictures studios in Culver City, California. But a few such as Benny Goodman's were filmed in New York City, the home of the real Stage Door Canteen, which was located on 44th Street.
