![Betty Grable - Movies Magazine Pictorial [United States] (August 1946)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/w/8/w84zxzo41haja84x.jpg?skj2io4l)
- Director John M. Stahl took over briefly as director while George Seaton was ill, prior to a more serious illness.
- Edmund Goulding replaced George Seaton when Seaton had a serious health relapse late in production.
- Gene Lockhart replaced Porter Hall in the cast after Hall was injured in a car accident.
- While Ira Gershwin fashioned the lyrics for this movie in 1946, the composer George Gershwin had died in 1937. With the aid of long time friend Kay Swift (herself a composer), Ira put together a number of George's unpublished melodies to provide a score for the film. "For You, For Me, For Evermore" became popular enough to make "Your Hit Parade" for two weeks.
- This was the first Betty Grable vehicle not to achieve major-hit status following her assent to stardom in Down Argentine Way. Twentieth Century-Fox executives blamed the mild box office on the rather genteel appearance of Miss Grable, sporting darker-blonde hair and failing to display her renowned legs.
