TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Although the second Mrs. Dick Powell (Joan Blondell) was no fan of the third Mrs. Powell (June Allyson), she asked her daughter (and Allyson's stepdaughter) Ellen Powell to speak to Allyson about a role in this movie. It was Blondell's return to movies after a five-year absence, and despite the rather difficult history involving the two Mrs. Powells, all went reasonably smoothly.

Remake of the non-musical movie The Women (1939) starring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Rosalind Russell. Crawford actually commented on this remake by saying, "It's ridiculous. Norma and I might not ever have been bosom buddies, but we towered compared to those pygmies in the remake."

A rare movie performance in which Ann Miller does not sing or dance.

This movie marked Charlotte Greenwood's last feature film appearance of thirty-three since 1915.

Jo Ann Greer provided the singing voice for June Allyson on the ballad "A Perfect Love", possibly the only time in Allyson's career that she was ever dubbed.

Popular Dialogues

"Amanda Penrose: [to Kay] What do you think marriage is anyway? Something safe and comfortable you can take for granted? This is a rough world, Kay, and marriage has to live in it. It has to be won over and over again, as many times as necessary and against all challenges. And anyone who hasn't the guts to fight ought to have learned to live alone and like it a long time ago."

"Kay Hilliard: I've had a whole year to grow claws, Lexy... Jungle Red!"
