Trivia

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on April 25, 1949 with Betty Grable and Dan Dailey reprising their film roles.

Second of four movies that paired Betty Grable and Dan Dailey.

Dan Dailey's Best Actor Oscar nomination marked a career high-point, though his portrayal of 'Skid' Johnson never stood a chance opposite Laurence Olivier's loftier central performance in the same year's Hamlet (1948). This illustrates the sometimes ludicrous range of nominations in the acting categories during Hollywood's golden era, the result of a far wider spectrum of genres represented. A similar disparity had emerged three years earlier when Gene Kelly's lighthearted performance in the musical Anchors Aweigh (1945) was improbably pitted against Ray Milland's histrionic performance as a desperate alcoholic in The Lost Weekend (1945).

"Screen Director's Playhouse" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on May 5, 1950 with Betty Grable reprising her film role.

The third film version of the Broadway play with music "Burlesque," which opened September 1, 1927 with Hal Skelly and Barbara Stanwyck in the starring roles of Skid and Bonnie.
