Trivia
The Andrews Sisters were brought in after filming wrapped and the final nightclub footage was edited in after the film's completion. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Ferdie leaves his bedroom to go out into the hall to see who was knocking at his door, the door slams behind him. He turns around, tries the handle and pushes the door, yells, "It's locked!" and runs across the hall to Chuck's room. However, when he initially pushed on the door it clearly opened several inches; he pulled it shut, turned the handle one more time and it again opened an inch or two. It was then he yelled "It's locked!" and ran off. See more »Quotes
