As Vicky passes Tim in the beginning of the movie, he says to her, "Well, if it isn't Ethel Barrymore!" Gene Kelly said the same thing to Debbie Reynolds in Singin' in the Rain, in which Donald O'Connor also starred. See more »

Goofs

Miscellaneous: In the "Heatwave" number, Marilyn Monroe actually accidentally pokes her finger in a dancer's eye, something you can see on the DVD on slow motion. The dancer is seen trying to hide behind the tree with his hand over his eye, but is enough of a trooper to continue with the number. Right after Marilyn pokes the dancer in the eye she performs a twirl, pokes her head between the branches of the fake tree and gives the dancer a kiss as an apology (it's quick but definitely a peck on the cheek to make up for the eye poke).
