Facts about
The September 4, 1946 edition of Variety carried a review of this movie, which had premiered at the Leicester Square Theatre in London on August 28. However, this picture escaped the notice of most contemporary American film critics.
Although Universal International's projected U.S. distribution of the film was canceled, the labels of two 78-rpm commercial recordings bore this notation: "From the Universal International Picture 'My Heart Goes Crazy'" -- the Decca single, which featured Bing Crosby, accompanied by Russ Morgan and His Orchestra, performing "So Would I" on the A side and "My Heart Goes Crazy" on the flip side (music by Jimmy Van Heusen, lyrics by Johnny Burke); and the Capitol release of "So Would I," sung by Matt Dennis, with backing by Paul Weston and His Orchestra. The Majestic 78 of "So Would I," featuring Georgia Gibbs with Earle Hagen's Orchestra, carried a label informing: "From the Picture 'My Heart Goes Crazy'" -- without reference to the film studio. In addition, two Columbia 78s were inscribed more simply with this note: "From "'My Heart Goes Crazy'" -- The Modernaires, assisted by Mitchell Ayres Agnes de Mille accepted the job of choreographer on this film, primarily so that she could go to London and be closer to her husband, who was stationed in Europe as part of the occupation force. Once she read the script, she hated everything about the movie and clashed with the producer every step of the way. Knowing that the movie would be the failure it ultimately turned out to be, she paid $5000 to have her name removed from the credits.
