Wissenswertes
Contrary to rumor, a young Fidel Castro does not appear as an extra. The rumor grew from two sources: his yearbook, in which teachers noted that he was "somewhat of an actor," and a 1943 interview where Xavier Cugat cryptically referred to one of his dancers becoming "a South American general." In his 1948, Cugat references being an acquaintance of Huber Benitez, who later became a General and supporter of Fulgencio Batista, whom Castro overthrew in 1959.

After her party, Christine and her father are talking in her room. There is a close-up of the drawing of her father. In later shots, it is a different picture. The face in the picture is at a different angle.

Zitate
Jeffrey Evans: Is Stanley pretty upset over your going?
Christine Evans: Yes.
Jeffrey Evans: Well, you've hurt him a lot lately - once more won't kill him.
Christine Evans: But I never meant to hurt his feelings.
Jeffrey Evans: You know, uh, if you hurt someone, it doesn't matter very much whether you meant to or not.

enjoyable

My husband and I had the pleasure of attending Jose Iturbi's concerts in San Antonio and Austin, Texas; also, my husband was fortunate to hear sister Ampara Iturbi while stationed on Trinidad during WWII, so I always rewatch these old films with great nostalgia. As an amateur pianist I did so enjoy all the music in this film. Calypso, boogie woogie, and classical...something for anyone who enjoys music. Yes, the plots of these old movies were always simplistic, but they make such good clean time-passers, particularly amid the sleaze presented to us on TV and in film today. I am so glad they have been preserved and that we have channels devoted to them. They take me back to happy times.
