Trivia
Judy Garland's two songs "I Wish I Were in Love Again" and "Johnny One Note" are sung at the same party, but they were filmed four months apart from each other. You can tell based on the longer length of her hair in the second number and the thicker, belt-less waistline (from a slight weight gain) in the dress she is wearing.
Quotes
Lorenz 'Larry' Hart:
Miserable? Me? I'm always happy!
Dorothy Feiner:
No one's always happy.
Lorenz 'Larry' Hart:
Alright, so I'm slightly miserable
Goofs
After he is rejected by Joyce Harmon, Richard Rodgers attends a showing of Camille (1936). This event is shown as taking place prior to the Broadway premiere of _A Connecticut Yankee_, even though the film was released in 1936 and the premiere of _A Connecticut Yankee_ took place in 1927. The clip from "Camille" is shown as if the picture were a silent film, when in fact "Camille" was (and is) one of Garbo's most celebrated talking pictures.
