Trivia SPOILER: In a commentary following the film on Turner Classic Movies in 2008, Robert Osborne said that the original script had the Lana Turner character actually die at the end. However, after negative reaction from preview audiences, MGM decided to cut the actual moment of death before the film`s official release. As a result, the audience is never certain of the fate of the character, because the film jumps to the Judy Garland finale. While Judy Garland rerecorded for Decca the wistful standard, "I`m Always Chasing Rainbows" (music by Joseph McCarthy, lyrics by Harry Carroll), the star made no commercial version of the lively rumba written for her by Roger Edens, a ditty turned into a mammoth Busby Berkeley production number, "Minnie From Trinidad." Instead, Decca assigned the song to Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra featuring vocalist Helen O`Connell.
The final shot of the "You Never Looked So Beautiful Before" number is recycled from "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody" from The Great Ziegfeld (1936). For the sake of continuity, Judy Garland is costumed and made up to resemble Virginia Bruce, who crowned the "Wedding Cake" set in the earlier film. Planned in 1938 to be made with Eleanor Powell, Joan Crawford, Virginia Bruce and Walter Pidgeon. | ||
