Trivia
One of only two films in which Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly danced together. The other was Ziegfeld Follies (1945).
Share this
When introducing a clip of Cyd Charisse early in the film Fred Astaire says "Cyd Charisse. Lovely Cyd Charisse. How she danced." A little later Gene Kelly says exactly the same line when introducing another clip of her.
Share this
During the clip from Kiss Me Kate (1953), Gene Kelly identifies Ann Miller and Tommy Rall, Bob Fosse and Carol Haney, and Bobby Van, but does not give the name of Van's dancing partner, who was Kelly's second wife, Jeanne Coyne. Kelly was still saddened by her death from leukemia three years earlier.

Goofs
During the clip from Kiss Me Kate, Gene Kelly identifies the choreographer as Hermes Pan. But the clip shown, "From This Moment On", was actually choreographed by Bob Fosse, one of the dancers.
Share this
During the "Invitation To The Dance" animated sequence, the costumes of the cartoon guards change from green to blue in less than a second.
