Did You Know?
Trivia | Rita Hayworth was pregnant during production. As a result, the musical numbers were filmed first, before the pregnancy began to show. As filming progressed, great care was taken to hide her growing belly with muffs, furniture and purses. See more » |
Goofs | When Rita is putting on the silver dress, the part in her hair jumps from the side to the middle and back again. See more » |

Quotes |
Squadron Leader Paul Lundy:
[in a bomb shelter]
Scared? Rosalind Bruce: Naturally. Squadron Leader Paul Lundy: So am I. Rosalind Bruce: Well, that's not very comforting. That's like having a lifeguard say he's afraid of the water. Squadron Leader Paul Lundy: Oh, I don't mean this. I mean you. You did a little bombing tonight yourself, you know. That dance you did... [imitates whistling of falling bomb] Squadron Leader Paul Lundy: In fact, you bombed from a very low altitude. It's not only unfair, it's practically illegal. Rosalind Bruce: Well, I'm sorry. Squadron Leader Paul Lundy: You should be. Rosalind Bruce: I hope I didn't hit anything vital. Squadron Leader Paul Lundy: You knocked out my whole communicating system, if that's any concern to you.
