Did You Know?

Trivia	During the Mr. and Mrs. number José Ferrer was actually singing and dancing with his then-wife Rosemary Clooney, who was pregnant at the time. See more »
Goofs	Songs are not presented in the correct chronological order in which they were written, nor from the shows in which they were introduced. For example, "Maytime" was a 1917 show, not a 1920s show, as presented here. "Softly, as In a Morning Sunrise" came from "New Moon" (1928) and was not written a decade earlier for Gaby Deslys; "It" was from "The Desert Song" (1926), a much later show than "Artists and Models", as presented here.

Quotes	Dorothy Donnelly: You have talent. That's very rare in the theater. Sigmund Romberg: You have a warm smile. That's even rarer. See more »
