| Trivia | June Wilkinson said she loved working with Louie Prima and his band, and that Prima was a true gentleman. In the make-up room, his band would love to tell off-color jokes, but Prima wouldn't let them do it around her. At the end of the movie, he gave her a diamond and gold bracelet with an inscription that said, "To a fine lady." See more » |
