"True to the Navy" (written by Elsie Janis and Jack King), sung and danced by Carmen Miranda, was deleted from this movie, but the song as filmed still exists. Paramount held exclusive rights to the song and it would not permit Twentieth Century-Fox to include Miranda's number in this movie. It was performed previously on screen by Clara Bow in Paramount on Parade (1930), which can be seen on YouTube. The song bears a striking resemblance to "You Can't Get A Man With A Gun" written by Irving Berlin in 1946 for the Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun".
Many of the posters and publicity shots for this film prominently feature Carmen Miranda wearing a nautical outfit topped by a lighthouse headdress, even though she never wears it in the movie (the hat can be seen on a dressing room counter in one shot). Paramount Pictures, which owned the rights to the song "True to the Navy", wouldn't give permission for its use in the film. Consequently, the entire sequence, already filmed with Miranda wearing her nautical attire, performing the song, had to be cut.
Carole Landis was originally cast in the lead tole of Mary Elizabeth 'Doll Face' Carroll. She was unhappy with the script and quit right before filming began. Vivian Blaine replaced her.
The hit swing-novelty number from the Jimmy McHugh-Harold Adamson score, the wisecracking, very 1940s "Dig You Later (A Hubba-Hubba-Hubba)," was performed in the film as a duet by Perry Como and Martha Stewart. Como's best-selling single on the Victor label would supplant Miss Stewart with a vocal quartet, The Satisfiers, whose lead singer was Helen Carroll. Curiously, Miss Stewart was recording for RCA Victor at the time.
Debut of actress Martha Stewart.
"Chita: A woman needs a man. You are a man, aren't you?"
"'Doll Face' Carroll: Do you mean to stand there and tell me I ain't got class? Why, in Duluth, I was billed as the... You tell 'em, Mike. Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: The Classy Chassis from Tallahassee. 'Cept she's from Brooklyn, but that don't rhyme with nothin'."
