Trivia
Doris Day had originally aspired to be a professional dancer, but that proved impossible after she was a passenger in a car that was hit by a train. Her injuries required a very long convalescence, at which point she took up singing. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: During one scene late in the film where Cagney is speaking, the audio/visuals are off by more than a second. See more »Quotes
Martin Snyder: [to reporters about Ruth] The girl can sing... About that I was never wrong.See more »
