Trivia

This is a different Doris Day. Much confusion (and, one imagines, many movie-goer complaints) followed purposely misleading re-release of this B musical in early Fifties to cash in on name of totally different same-named musical comedy star who accomplished far greater acclaim nearly ten years later.
