Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Revuers (Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Judy Holliday and Alvin Hammer) received billing (as a group), but their one musical number, "The Baroness Bazooka," was cut from the release print. Their remaining roles are little better than extras.
- GoofsThe opening narration on the bus claims that George Gershwin was one of those legendary talents who got his start in Greenwich Village, but in 1922, when this film supposedly takes place, Gershwin was just starting out.

Featured review
It amazes me that other postings about films are so critical of movies intended to be entertaining fluff, for being fluff.
And trite? What movie today isn't a rehash of something already done over and over again?
Musicals of the time weren't intended to be "South Pacific" or "Oklahoma". The plots were devised to be excuses to have music or dance performances or comedy bits. You probably noticed that the plots are mostly "backstage" stories and the characters portrayed are singers or dancers.
Technicolor is always pleasing to the eye, and so are the performances of Vivian Blaine and Carmen Miranda in this film.
So just sit back and enjoy.
