Trivia and QuotesQuotes Alfred North: For a critic that first step is the first printed joke. It gets a laugh and a whole new world opens up. He makes another joke, and another. And then one day along comes a joke that shouldn`t be made because the show he`s reviewing is a good show. But, as it so happens, it`s a good joke. And you know what? The joke wins.
Trivia Beginning her feature-film career portraying Katharine Hepburn`s mother in Little Women (1933), Spring Byington closed her movie years playing Doris Day`s mother in this film. Betty Grable was approached to play either -- accounts vary -- the theater critic`s overwhelmed wife or the modestly talented actress in the picture. Whichever the role offered, Miss Grable declined. After Doris Day and Janis Paige first had worked together in Romance on the High Seas (1948), Miss Paige had triumphed on Broadway as the feisty union official, Babe Williams, in the Tony Award-winning musical of 1954, "The Pajama Game." When Warner Bros., the former home lot of Janis and Doris, recast Babe Williams for the delightful 1957 film version, Babe then turned into -- Doris Day! The musical number Kate rehearses for the amateur show ("Any Way The Wind Blows," music by Marilyn Hooven and Joseph Hooven, lyrics by `By Dunham`) had been written for the previous year`s Doris Day movie, Pillow Talk (1959). The song title was, for a while, even the working title of that film. | ||
