At the beginning of the Dog Pound scene, during the first verses "No Place Like Home", the shadows of the bars on the dogs distinctly resemble the stripes that were usually shown on prisoners, a comic effect that makes the Pound seem like prison. But in the last verse, those stripes are gone. This was possibly intentional, as the joke could be assumed to have made its point by then, and the shadows would be too distracting during the following dialog. See more »

Jim Dear:
[Giving Darling a hatbox]
It's for you, Darling. Merry Christmas.
Darling:
Oh, Jim, dear. It's the one I was admiring, isn't it? Trimmed with ribbons?
Jim Dear:
Well, it *has* a ribbon.
[the box is opened; inside is a puppy wearing a ribbon]

Oh, how sweet.

Peggy Lee was a national treasure. What an amazing thing that she wrote most of the music for this movie, but only in old age did she receive credit. I agree that issues of class seem merely consistent with the era, but consider that the flavor of the day was vanilla. So in those days going out for Italian was a walk on the wild side (unless you grew up in Brooklyn)! Then an upper-crust girl marries a boy of mixed race origins?! And it's clear from the dog pound scene that Peg "got around" (just look at her hair!), nevertheless, she was valued and respected among the dogs. Yes, the film is hokey. But rats are evil. And the soundtrack is outstanding.
