Trivia

Starring two notable singers, Howard Keel and Polly Bergen, this tuneless comedy did not pick up a contemporary New York Times review. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Characters keep claiming they are singing the bugle call "Boots and Saddles," when actually they are singing the more familiar "First Call," which is the military bugle call that was borrowed, and often re-named "Call to the Post," for most race tracks. See more »
