Mrs. Peyton Potter: No doubt. And from a Brazilian tomato.
Edie Allen: [singing] Oh, the polka dance, the polka dance, the polka dance is gone/But the polka dot, the polka dot, the polka dot lives on.

Facts about
On loan from MGM, Busby Berkeley, directing and choreographing this Twentieth Century-Fox musical, was given his first opportunity to work using perfected, three-strip Technicolor. Thirteen years before, Mr. Berkeley had choreographed for producer Samuel Goldwyn the Eddie Cantor frolic, Whoopee!, shot in early Technicolor.
Linda Darnell was originally cast in the role of "Vivian." But her marriage to the much-older cinematographer J. Peverell Marley ran her afoul of studio head Darryl F. Zanuck, and she was put on suspension. Sheila Ryan replaced her in the role.
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.
