Trivia and QuotesTrivia `Judy Holiday` recreated her Broadway role as Ella Peterson. Jean Stapleton also recreated her role as Sue.
Hal Linden`s movie debut. He played the understudy for Sydney Chaplins` Jeffery Moss on Broadway and eventually performed the role with Judy Holliday. An alternate take of "The Midas Touch" (music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), a production number with lead singer Hal Linden, still exists. In the release print, the second half of the musical proceedings gets shunted to the background, being "talked over" by Dean Martin, Frank Gorshin and Bernard West (billed as Bernie West). The center-stage version is available on the DVD from Warner Home Video. A song written for the picture, "My Guiding Star" (music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), sung by Dean Martin, was deleted. The vocal as filmed still exists and is featured on the DVD from Warner Home Video. "Is It a Crime?" (music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), sung and recited as a comic inspirational message by Judy Holliday to Dort Clark, was deleted from this movie. The routine as shot still exists and can be watched on the DVD issued by Warner Home Video Judy Holliday`s last film. This was Arthur Freed and Vincente Minnelli`s last musical for MGM.
Except for two uncredited parts in her first two films, this was the only color film Judy Holliday made. | ||
