Trivia

The speech Alice gives to Joe on why she knows not to worry was originally supposed to be delivered by Robert Walker. However, director Vincente Minnelli had it rewritten so that Judy Garland (whom he was dating at the time) could do it. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Joe shows up for date with Alice at 7 pm. And even though date lasts nearly a day, he's still clean-shaven 24 hours later. See more »

Quotes

Judge: [to Alice and Joe] In the state of New York I now pronounce you husband and wife.
