Trivia
As she stated in her autobiography, Lauren Bacall had been wanted by Columbia to appear in this film as Harper's Bazaar cover girl (as she had appeared on Harper's Bazaar cover in March 1943), but instead filmed To Have and Have Not (1944) at Warner Bros. and became a star.
Quotes
John Coudair:
All right, I'm trying not to be excited. What would you do if your youth should walk in through that door?
Cornelia 'Stonewall' Jackson:
I'd put braces on its teeth.
Goofs
Just before Danny and Rusty talk for the first time about her being a cover girl, Genius is called on stage to do his "Who's Complaining?" number, yet the music playing in the background is "Long Ago and Far Away." Also Rusty isn't in her cab driver costume.
