Facts about
Alice Faye was pregnant with her second daughter during the filming of this movie.
The production number "The Lady In The Tutti-Frutti Hat" ran into problems with the censors. The Hayes office at first considered the way the gigantic bananas were held in front of the dancers as being too "phallic". The problem was resolved by having the dancers hold the bananas at waist level rather than at hip level.
Director Busby Berkeley was free to do this film because Judy Garland had him fired from Girl Crazy after he shot the film's ending number, "I Got Rhythm." Norman Taurog took over the direction of "Girl Crazy" and, rather than pay him his contract salary for not working, MGM loaned Berkeley to 20th Century-Fox for this film.
