Facts about

The standard "It's a Big, Wide, Wonderful World" (music and lyrics by John Rox), sung by Deanna Durbin, was cut from this film. The footage was restored on the VHS-tape release from Universal Studios. The year after this picture opened, the lilting waltz was revived by two vocalists: Buddy Clark on Columbia Records and Hildegarde on Decca. Later, the ditty was sung by Dean Martin in 3 Ring Circus.
In September 1947, Universal International announced that Karl Tunberg would produce this film and William A. Seiter would direct.

The original story, called "White House Girl," was purchased by Universal from MGM.
