Trivia The precision tap dance performed by Jack Haley, Alice Faye and Shirley Temple required endless takes. Although Haley, Faye and Temple were all excellent tap dancers, they found it extremely difficult to stay in sync for such a long and complicated number. See more »

Quotes Stebbins: That's the third sneeze.
Collins: I'm afraid you'll have to go to bed.
Barbara Barry: But I'm not sick. I feel fine!
Woodward: Oh, Collins, she's perfectly well. A sneeze is nothing to be alarmed at.
Collins: Maybe so, But I'm responsible for the child. Come along, dear.
Woodward: The child sneezes, and you'd think the world has come to an end. Why can't they leave her alone? She's a perfectly normal, healthy child. The way they carried on here, you'd think she was made of glass! Something ought to be done.
Collins: How Mr. Barry can stand that woman is beyond me.
Woodward: You can't expect a widower and a man as busy as Mr. Barry to notice everything that goes on in the house.
