Trivia and QuotesQuotes Clarence Doolittle: You saved my life, so you owe me something.
Joseph Brady: Oh, it was I who saved your life, so now I owe *you* something! Hey look, have you gone crazy?
Clarence Doolittle: Look, I didn`t ask you to save my life, but you did. So now I feel you are responsible for me.
Joseph Brady: Well I don`t!
Clarence Doolittle: Well, what`s the good of having a life saved when you can`t have any fun with it?
[at Donald`s school]
Donald Martin: [to Joe] Tell us how you got your medal.
Joseph Brady: Alright, I`ll tell you how I got my medal. Now close your eyes... and try to think of the most beautiful place you`ve ever with greenest grass and the singingest birds and the shiningest sun.
[Cut to Donald`s thoughts]
Joseph Brady: Can you see it?
Kids: Yeah!
Joseph Brady: Good! Now imagine me walking along, happy as a lark. Can you see me?
Kids: Yeah!
Joseph Brady: Good! Of course, back then in the navy we wore white suits with blue stripes and little white hat with a little red ball on top.

Trivia This was the first film project for Pamela Britton. When the dance sequence with Gene Kelly and Jerry the Mouse was screened for MGM executives, someone noticed that although Kelly`s reflection shone on the floor during his dancing, Jerry`s did not. So all the animators who worked on the sequence had to be rehired to go back in and draw Jerry`s reflection on the floor as he was dancing. For the most famous sequence in the film, Mickey Mouse was originally meant to be the dance partner of Gene Kelly. However, when Walt Disney refused to have his most famous character appear in an MGM film. Kelly turned to MGM`s own animation studio and used Jerry Mouse of Tom and Jerry fame. | ||
