Facts about
There are two versions of Fred Astaire's "I Wanna be a Dancin Man" number. The first was shot in front of a red curtain in a more casual attire. Other than that it had the exact same choreography. MGM wasn't pleased with the costume, so they reshot the number in front of a different backdrop, with Astaire in a far more debonair suit. When they made "That's Entertainment III" they did a split screen comparison of the two numbers.
The song "I Love to Beat the Big Bass Drum" was written for the film but not used.
