- Peter Lawford: The studio pretty much told us - what pictures we were going appear in. They put us in dramas, comedies and, in my case, and don't ask me why, an occasional musical. As a singer or dancer, I was ill equipped to compete with Astaire or Kelly. But, we did what we were told to do.
- Peter Lawford: The films we made here had a certain style. A look that was unmistakable. Whether it was the directing or the writing or the scenery, the costumes, the lighting, I don't really know. But, somehow you could always tell that it was an MGM movie, especially the musicals.
- Peter Lawford: When I first came to MGM the world was at war. With the GIs overseas and the audience here at home, the musicals were a very special kind of an escape - both during the war and afterwards.
