Vera-Ellen's lifelong conflict with various eating disorders had culminated famously in high necklines to cover her emaciated state in both "Call Me Madam" (1953) and "White Christmas" (1954). However, by the time she made this film, she had returned to a normal weight, reflected in costuming that once again partially revealed her neckline.
RCA Victor, Tony Martin's home label, released the film's soundtrack album only on an abbreviated 45rpm extended play release that included four of Martin's songs, all recorded directly from the film's soundtrack. Joan Small's musical numbers were not released commercially.
This film in its widescreen format was thought to have deteriorated beyond repair in the United States, with only a pan-and-scan version shown occasionally on the TNT and TCM networks. However, a pristine CinemaScope print was unearthed in Great Britain and released to DVD in PAL format in 2015.
In the train sequence, Tony Martin's character reports his age as 36, while Vera-Ellen's character admits to being 22. Later in the film, Martin takes a peek at Vera-Ellen's passport and his response indicates that she lied significantly about her age. At the time of filming, Martin was 44 and Vera-Ellen was 36.
