According to Judy Garland's biographer, Gerold Frank, The Pirate (1948) was the first film ever in which the studio hired a psychiatrist, paid for out of the film's production budget, to treat the star during shooting and make sure she was mentally healthy enough to perform.
Judy Garland smoked four packs of cigarettes a day during filming.
Judy Garland missed 99 of the 135 shooting days due to illness.
Both Gene Kelly and Judy Garland fought to get The Nicholas Brothers (Fayard Nicholas and Harold Nicholas) included in the movie. They succeeded, but the "Be a Clown" sequence was cut by exhibitors in Memphis and other U.S. cities in the South because it included The Nicholas Brothers, who were black.
When one dance sequence was being rehearsed, Harold Nicholas was just going through the motions, and Gene Kelly accused him of not knowing the routine - so Nicholas danced the whole routine, alone, full-out and flawlessly. Kelly was speechless.
"Manuela: I wish I had now. Now, will you get out of here? Serafin: You won't come with me? Manuela: No. Serafin: Very well then. [He goes through the window, turns to Manuela] Serafin: You know, it isn't essential for you to love me to be in the troupe. It helps, but it isn't essential. Manuela: Get out! Serafin: [leaves to go out window] Good-bye. Manuela: No, not that way! You'll kill yourself. Serafin: You do care. You do care! Manuela: No, I don't! No, I don't! Serafin: Manuela, you love me! You love me!"
"Serafin: You should try underplaying sometime. Very effective."
