Wissenswertes
Gene Kelly's film debut. It is known that Judy Garland got him the job after seeing him in the Broadway musical "Pal Joey". Kelly made films in a variety of genres over the next few years but became best known for his energetic dancing style in MGM hits such as Urlaub in Hollywood (1945), Das ist New York (1949), and Ein Amerikaner in Paris (1951). Kelly, who was a choreographer and director as well as a dancer and singer, received a special Academy Award in 1951 in recognition of his outstanding achievement as an actor, dancer, singer and director. He also received a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in 1985. The song "For Me and My Gal" became one of Kelly's signature songs.

Patzer
At the start, the year "1916" is shown on the screen. Later in the film, there is a newspaper headline that the liner Lusitania had been sunk. The timing is off because the ship was sunk in May of 1915.

Zitate
Harry Palmer: Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?

Crazy Credits
A picture of an infantry soldier in New York harbor and the text "America needs your money. Buy war bonds and stamps at this theatre."

Alternative Versionen
There is a 1993 colorized version of the film that aired on TNT

What a Tearjerker!

If this movie was simply Gene Kelly and Judy Garland exchanging quips (the "Hello Springtime!" bit is especially good) and singing and dancing in a coffee shop, then it would still be entertaining. But that's really not all it is. This movie is more like a drama/romance than a musical, in the way that there are some songs, very good ones, but there is more story than numbers. Yes, the idea is an old one, but there are a few twists that distinguish it from any other wartime romance. (Don't go expecting The Maltese Falcon though.) The little plot weaknesses are forgotten as the actors (particularly Garland) hold it all together. I cried twice, and I almost never cry at movies. I fully recommend For Me and My Gal, unless you're dead-set on a tear-free day.
