- TriviaThe "You're All the World to Me" dance was accomplished by putting a whole room, with attached camera and harnessed cameraman, inside a 20-foot-diameter rotating "squirrel cage."
- GoofsOn the day of the wedding, many of the British flags in the streets are hung upside down. The wider diagonal white stripe of the Union Flag should always be uppermost next to the top of the flagpole.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are displayed on engraved invitation pages.

Featured review
If you like lighthearted, fluffy, feel-good films then this movie could be up your alley. The dancing is superb and very creative, and the singing from both Jane Powell and Fred Astaire is wonderful. Jane Powell is amazing in her role, very convincing. Fred Astaire shines as well. The only things wrong with this movie is a) as other people have commented, is the boring love interests. They seem very wooden, there's no chemistry, they don't sing and dance. Basically, they suck and could have been much better casted. The second thing is that a few of the songs are pretty boring, but I loved "Too Late Now" and "How could I believe you.." Very clever. Great dancing, great stars, beautiful costumes, great acting (from Jane Powell and Fred Astaire) and lovely songs! I really enjoyed watching this movie.
