Curiosidades
The roles played by John Payne and Margaret Lindsay were originally intended for Dick Powell and Bette Davis. Powell took a layoff rather than make this film.

Pifias
Toni Blake's (Margaret Lindsay) first name on her office door is spelled "Tony" in one scene, and "Toni" in another shortly later.

Citas
Slappy Harris: Say, you ought to be able to get us a lot of publicity. You know, Don is a solid tenor, when he gets nice and groovy, its out of this world.
Toni Blake: How's that?
Slappy Harris: I mean its a killer duck. Well, when he starts us cats sending, you ought to see the alligators pack around the grandstand.
Toni Blake: I don't mean to be rude, but, are you giving me the double-talk?
Don Vincente: Ha-ha. Nah, that's just a little swing lingo. He means the customers like our work.
Toni Blake: Does he speak English too?
Don Vincente: Of course he does. Slappy, say a few words in English for the lady.
Slappy Harris: Oh, she knows what I mean. She's no icky.

A lost art

GARDEN is one of those forgotten "B" undercard films that has found new life on TCM. Pat O'Brien and a very young John Payne cross swords as a prickly nightclub manager and a struggling band leader, respectively. The plot is incidental, and involves Payne and his band traveling from NYC to play in O'Brien's popular L.A. club, only to find they are being swindled by O'Brien. The story is not to be taken seriously, and the film largely exists for a lot of big band era music, with some swing numbers thrown n, although no black players appear that I recall. Payne looks and sounds great, and is ably supported by a marvelous actress, completely forgotten today, named Margaret Lindsay and of course the cantankerous, fast-talking O'Brien. Pop-eyed, nonsense-spouting Jerry Colona is along for the ride. The novelty number, "Girlfriend of the Whirling Dervish," better known today thanks to a Looney Tunes cartoon, made its debut here.
