S.Z. Sakall's American film debut.
In MGM's Technicolor remake, Nancy Goes to Rio (1950), Jane Powell's repertoire included her rendition of a fabled aria sung by Deanna Durbin in Universal's black-and-write original: "Musetta's Waltz Song" from the opera "La Boheme" (music by 'Giacomo Puccini (I)', lyrics by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa). Worth noting is that Joe Pasternak, who departed Universal for the MGM's bigger budgets in late 1941, produced both musicals.
This is one of two 1940 movies that end with "Ave Maria." The other is Walt Disney's "Fantasia."
Two characters are named Frankenstein and Helsing, apparently a Norman Krasna in-joke referring to Universal's two most famous horror movies, "Frankenstein" and "Dracula," which they'd reissued jointly two years prior and were likely still playing in smaller and second-run theatres.
Director William A. Seiter was borrowed from Twentieth Century-Fox for this film.
"Karl Ober: I can't work in New York anyway. Is this place far from here? Pamela Drake: Oh, no, Mr. Ober, it's only Maine. You know where Maine is! Karl Ober: No. Pamela Drake: Oh, it's practically a few minutes from here! You could write fine there. Sidney Simpson: 'A few minutes'! Pamela Drake: [to Sidney, blithely] Yes! [to Ober] Pamela Drake: That's all, really. Karl Ober: [wagging his finger] Then it isn't quiet enough. I have to go further away from New York. Pamela Drake: Oh, good - it *is* far away! Takes a whole day to get there. [to Sidney, brightly] Pamela Drake: Really, I'm an awful liar, aren't I? Sidney Simpson: Yes."
"Pamela Drake: Oh, I'm old for my age. If you're raised in the theater, you age quicker, is the way I look at it. Sara Frankenstein: You're practically an old hag, Pam."
