Trivia
At a couple of points in the movie, Dobie and Pansy duet on "All I Do is Dream of You." Debbie Reynolds (Pansy) sang the same number, with chorus girls, in Singin' in the Rain (1952).

This modest (by MGM standards) black-and-white musical failed to be noted by a contemporary New York Times review. In addition, this was the only monochrome song-and-dance picture in which Debbie Reynolds and Bob Fosse appeared.

Lurene Tuttle plays the mother of Debbie Reynolds, as she also does in Give a Girl a Break (1953). In real life, however, she was the mother of costar Barbara Ruick.
