    • Trivia
      When the film was re-released in November 1952, Columbia redesigned the opening title credits with the name of Marilyn Monroe over the title, and the name of Adele Jergens, who originally had top billing, moved to the head of the supporting cast; this is the version that was shown on Turner Classic Movies.
    • Goofs
      In a flashback that takes place more than twenty years earlier, the women's hairstyles and clothes are those of 1948.
    • Quotes

      Chorus Girl #3: He says to me, "I'd like to see your show, baby, how about a couple of passes?"

      Chorus Girl #2: The nerve!

      Chorus Girl #1: And the guys I go out with don't want passes. They just make 'em.

      Chorus Girl #3: Speaking of passes, I've been knocking down so many lately, I feel like an All-American.

    Ladies of the chorus will surprise you
    I don't know about you, but I'm a big MM fan. Not a overly huge or fanatical one mind you, but I have seen all her major pictures several times and have seen most of her smaller ones. For a long time Ladies of the Chorus was off of my radar screen. It's not seen often, video stores in my area don't have it. I missed the airings on cable or where ever. For years, I heard that this was a B picture, and one of her first pictures and not a special MM movie. So I figured this was another one of those small chances to see Marilyn similar to her early Fox appearances like "We're not Married" I was wrong, the critics were wrong, and people talking about the movie were wrong. MM is a featured player here in this B picture, it was great fun to see, she does some musical numbers (even if it wasn't her singing I didn't really notice) it was fun to see and I'm glad I made the effort to track down this movie and buy a copy.
