Trivia Geraldine Robertson played Chorine (uncredited). She landed the part as a result of being crowned Queen of the Centennial at the Texas State Fair in 1936, crowned by Ginger Rogers, and part of the prize for winning was a screen test with MGM. The dress that Virginia Bruce throws on the floor and refuses to appear in is the same dress worn by Jeanette MacDonald in San Francisco (1936), a few months earlier. The only appearance by James Stewart in a musical film. According to the biography "Beyond the Rainbow", this film was at one point to have included a role for Judy Garland. Eleanor Powell singing voice was dubbed by Marjorie Lane. Adding/correcting qv`s Cole Porter picked James Stewart for the male lead and later said he sang "Easy to Love" as well as any professional singer. A dubbing track was prepared with baritone Jack Owens, but it was decided that Stewart`s tenor voice was perfect for the song. In That`s Entertainment! (1974), Stewart said, "The song had become a huge hit, even my singing wouldn`t hurt it." Some cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Charles Lane (Stage manager), Billy Watson (Newsboy) and Fuzzy Knight (Pianist). Allan Jones was intended for Ted Barker, but the role went to James Stewart. | ||
