TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Judy Holliday's last film.

Except for two uncredited parts in her first two films, this was the only color film Judy Holliday made.

Judy Holliday won Broadway's 1957 Tony Award as Best Actress (Musical) for "Bells Are Ringing," a role she recreates in this film version.

Frank Gorshin (Blake Barton) is doing an impression of Marlon Brando. Gorshin was one of Hollywood's greatest impressionists, along with Rich Little. He would become famous for playing "The Riddler" on Batman (1966), appearing in ten episodes, and a role for which he was nominated for an Emmy.

This was both Arthur Freed's and Vincente Minnelli's last musical for MGM.

Popular Dialogues
