Trivia
This was Columbia Pictures' biggest-grossing film of 1944, and proved so popular with audiences that it was "held over" for multiple weeks in many small town movie houses across America.
Quotes
Rusty Parker:
I suppose you've noticed that I'm *just* so full of animation and everything is just impossible for me to sit still a minute. My grandmother used to say it's because my *glands* weren't right.
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.
