A middle-aged butcher and a school teacher who have given up on the idea of love meet at a dance and fall for each other.
Nancy Marchand was set to make her big screen debut in this film as Clara, however Gene Kelly strongly lobbied for his wife, Betsy Blair, to get the part and she was ultimately selected over Marchand.
Marty Pilletti:
Tommy, Tommy, just let me get a couple of minutes, will you? Because I promised Mr. Terry that I would let him know by tomorrow. You and Virginia can fight anytime.
In the opening scene in the butcher shop, Marty is shown facing the camera and using a knife to cut between the bones of a roast (to make chops). He does not finish cutting all of the chops, but sets his knife down on the ledge of the counter to his right (our left). In the next shot, from the reverse angle (that is, with Marty's back to the camera), Marty again has the knife in his hand, and is cutting through the remainder of the roast. After he has finished cutting, he takes up a meat cleaver to complete the task of making chops.
