Trivia:
The plot of the original Broadway show "Roberta", on which the movie is based, was almost entirely changed for this film, except for the situation of somebody inheriting a dress shop. But the two songs written for the 1935 film version of "Roberta" were retained for this film. Several of the songs from the show which were omitted from the 1935 film were brought back for Howard Keel to sing. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In one scene Stephanie and Tony ride through the park in a carriage. About once per minute the background jerks and then repeats showing that it is back projected on a loop. moreSoundtrack:

In a movie with all these phenomenal stars, the audience should be able to expect a riot of comedy and charm. Unfortunately, the talents of Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson tend to burn rather than smolder as the plot develops. Some scenes between the two main characters become absolutely tedious. That aside, Marge and Gower Champion are superb in this film, and Red Skelton with some help from Zsa Zsa Gabor adds several funny sketches to the overall production.
