Quotes from
Serafin: You know, it's not essential to love me to be in the troop. It helps but it's not essential.
Manuela: Go away!
Serafin: [leaves to go out window] Fine. Good bye!
Manuela: Not that way! You'll kill yourself.
Serafin: You do care, Manuela!
Manuela: No I don't!
Serafin: Yes you do! You love me! You love me!
Serafin: [after Manuela smashes a painting over his head] You're overdoing this! You're being vindictive!

Facts about
Gene Kelly helped invent a device which allowed the bulky Technicolor cameras to shoot from low angles.
Two songs written by Cole Porter for Judy Garland were revised in the release print. Judy's first rendition of "Love of My Life," which included the verse, was not used. However, on the MGM Records soundtrack album, listeners heard Miss Garland's initial prerecording. Also dropped from the movie was the original "Mack the Black," intended as the curtain-raiser. In the revamped version transferred to midway, replacing the feverish Garland-Gene Kelly "Voodoo" number, Cole Porter's somewhat violent "Mack the Black" lyrics, including a reference to killing babies, were toned down. A portion of the original "Mack the Black" footage with Judy can be viewed in the trailer. The three discarded prerecordings, along with the two final takes heard in the picture, are included on Rhino's soundtrack CD.
