The complete performance by Betty Grable and Dan Dailey of "(Rolling Down Bowling Green) On a Little Two-Seat Tandem" (music by Josef Myrow, lyrics by Mack Gordon) was cut from the film. Remaining is a partial song-and-dance reprise near the end of the movie.
Twentieth Century-Fox had wanted either James Cagney or Fred Astaire to play the role of song-and-dance man Frank Burt. After negotiations with Mr. Astaire fell through, Betty Grable requested John Payne, who already had appeared with her in Tin Pan Alley (1940), Footlight Serenade (1942), Springtime in the Rockies (1942) and The Dolly Sisters (1945).
