Susan Hayward's singing was dubbed by Jane Froman.
According to director Walter Lang, the reason Jane Froman didn't star in the picture herself was that she stammered. Fortunately, she didn't stammer when she sang.
The film was released containing an extremely brief exposure of Susan Hayward's left breast. This occurs during an overhead long shot of a lavish dance number, when the actress' strapless gown very briefly separates from her bosom. The moment was subsequently excised from some--but not all--prints in release.
Twentieth Century-Fox was originally going to have Jeanne Crain star in this film, but Jane Froman thought Susan Hayward would be a better choice since she thought Hayward resembled and sounded like her.
The same green off-the-shoulder blouse (with black filigree pattern) that Susan Hayward wears while singing "The Right Kind" (music by Lionel Newman and Charles Henderson, lyrics by Don George) in a nightclub number was later worn by Marilyn Monroe in Bus Stop (1956), also produced by Twentieth Century-Fox.
"Clancy: I'm here to tell the cockeyed world... stage history was made that night. To be perfectly frank, none of us knew what to expect. Here was a girl with a 35 pound cast on her leg... who's have to be carried on and off the stage 22 times a performance... making her first public appearance since the accident. The big question on all our minds was... would the audience take her this way? More important still, could she stand the gaff?"
"Jane Froman: I understood you were looking for a hot singer?"
