ā¢ Instead of using the score of "Wonderful Town," the 1953 Broadway musical based on the "My Sister Eileen" stories by Ruth McKinney, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Columbia commissioned a brand-new score with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Leo Robin.
ā¢ Director Richard Quine played Frank Lippincott in the earlier film version My Sister Eileen (1942) and in the original Broadway production of the play.
ā¢ First screen choreography credit for Bob Fosse and the only one where his first name "Robert" is used.
