Louis Calhern replaced Frank Morgan in the role of Buffalo Bill Cody aka Buffalo Bill after Morgan died just as filming was getting under way. But if you look closely at Buffalo Bill's very first appearance on his horse, you will see a second of Frank Morgan before the shot of Calhern.
Betty Hutton and Howard Keel did not get along during filming. Keel thought that Hutton cared more about her career than her co-stars.
Judy Garland and Frank Morgan, who appeared together in The Wizard of Oz (1939), were scheduled to reappear together in this film. Garland was fired because of health problems, and Frank Morgan died shortly after filming began. As a result of this, Betty Hutton took over Judy Garland's role as Annie Oakley, and Louis Calhern succeeded Frank Morgan as Buffalo Bill Cody aka Buffalo Bill.
Howard Keel broke his leg during filming when a horse fell on it.
Writers Dorothy Fields and Herbert Fields and Producers Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II had originally arranged for Jerome Kern to write the musical score. When Kern died suddenly, he was replaced by Irving Berlin. This was the first time that Berlin wrote a score for a show with an existing plot. In his many musical plays and films the songs were written first, then the scripts were written for the situations suggested by the songs.
"Annie Oakley: [calling after Frank as he's walking away] Hey, mister...? Don't you like girls? Frank Butler: [not comprehendeding the question] Well... sure! Annie Oakley: [realizing it herself] I'm a girl. Frank Butler: [laughing condescendingly as he walks away] That's fine."
"Chief Sitting Bull: Sitting Bull live by three words: Keep bow tight, Keep arrow sharp, [and with finality] Chief Sitting Bull: No put money into show business. Charlie Davenport: [rhetorically] How'd we ever get this country away from them?"
