Facts about

Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney all died at the same age: 74.
The original idea was to reunite Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby, as they had been successful in Holiday Inn. Astaire refused, as he had "retired" at the time, so the part was reworked for Donald O'Connor. O'Connor pulled out due to illness, and the part was reworked for Danny Kaye.
