This movie departs from its predecessor, On Moonlight Bay (1951), in three main ways. Firstly, the film opens with Stella breaking the fourth wall, addressing the audience directly as she introduces the Winfield family. Secondly, the musical numbers are played like a traditional musical, while the original movie incorporated the songs more organically within the story. Finally, the bespectacled music teacher, although the same basic character with the same mannerisms, has a different name and is played by a different actor, the only member of the cast who did not carry over from the original film.
Doris Day (born in 1922) was 30 when she played 18-year-old Marjorie.
Mary Wickes appears as Stella in the film's trailer and talks directly to the audience telling them about the story.
Gordon MacRae (born in 1921) was 31 when he played 20-year-old Bill.
Studio rumors suggested that recently signed contract player Merv Griffin was being groomed to replace Gordon McRae as Doris Day's leading man in this film. Instead, Griffin was cast in the cameo role of the announcer at the town's ice-skating rink, and only spoke one line: "Everybody grab your girl and start skating!"
"Stella: [to the camera] Wesley is their second child. If he had been the first, there never would have been a second! Oh... You're probably wondering who I am. Well, don't be so nosy!"
"Father Winfield: [about his tomboyish daughter getting married] Well, I feel like I'm losing a son."
