Best Music Scoring of a Musical Picture | 1944
When Irving Berlin was filming his rendition of "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning", one of the stagehands, unaware of who the singer was, supposedly said that if the guy who wrote the song could hear Berlin's singing, he'd roll over in his grave.
The #1 moneymaker of 1943.
Bette Davis insisted Warners studio boss Jack L. Warner contribute the profits from this film to the war effort. All profits were donated to the Air Force Benevolent Fund. Production staff took no salaries as their contribution to the war effort.
The first Warner Bros. musical shot in three-strip Technicolor.
"Yip Yip Yaphank," the World War I all-soldier show featured at the beginning of the movie, was an actual World War I all-soldier show. It was composed and produced by Irving Berlin while he was a US Army recruit at Camp Upton in Yaphank, NY.
"Irving Berlin: [singing] I've been a soldier quite awhile and I would like to state, the life is simply wonderful, the Army food is great. I sleep with 97 others in a wooden hut, I love them all, they all love me, It's very lovely, but - Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning..."
"Irving Berlin: [SInging] Someday I'm going to murder the bugler. Some day you're going to find him dead. And then I'll get that other pup, the guy who wakes the bugler up and spend the rest of my life in bed."
