Facts about

In the scene where Judy and Van Johnson meet in the restaurant, the woman sitting directly behind Judy is wearing the same green and plaid costume worn by Cyd Charisse in The Harvey Girls, which also starred Judy Garland.
As late as 1948, Peter Lawford and June Allyson were announced as the stars.
Buster Keaton was working as a gag writer at MGM when this movie was made. The filmmakers approached him to devise a way for a violin to get broken that would be both comic and plausible. Keaton came up with an appropriate fall, and the filmmakers then realized he was the only one who would be able to execute it properly, so they cast him in the film. Keaton also devised the sequence in which Van Johnson inadvertently wrecks Judy Garland's hat, and coached Johnson intensively in how to perform the scene. This was the first MGM film Keaton appeared in since being fired from the studio in 1933.
