TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Lead actress, Esther Williams married her leading man, Fernando Lamas sixteen years after Dangerous When Wet (1953) was filmed. Esther Williams was married to her second (of four husbands), Ben Gage, while this film was in production.

George Murphy and Greg Merkes were replaced by William Demarest and Charlotte Greenwood before filming began.

An excerpt from "Dangerous When Wet" (1953) appears in "The Tender Trap" (1955), starring Debbie Reynolds and Frank Sinatra. When Reynolds is trying to avoid necking with Sinatra, she turns on the TV and they watch a scene of the movie in which Esther Williams and Fernando Lamas swim and kiss.

Cartoon mouse Jerry had previously appeared almost a decade earlier in the MGM musical "Anchors Aweigh" with Gene Kelly.

Gene Siskel cited this as one of his favorite films as a child, and that as an adult he would sing "I Got Out of Bed on the Right Side" to himself to get through stressful situations.
