Facts about
'Kim Novak''s singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Stevens (nee Gertrude Ewan).
Rita Hayworth plays the rich older woman keeping Frank Sinatra as her boy toy. In real life, Hayworth was only in her late thirties when she made this film and was three years younger than Sinatra.
After Columbia producer Harry Cohn saw the success of Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth in Cover Girl, he promised this film to them. (Kelly had his big break by creating the role of Joey Evans on Broadway.) Sadly, the story took another 15 years to reach the screen and by that time, Kelly was under contract to MGM. Hayworth was cast as the older woman, with Kim Novak now playing the younger woman.
