Trivia and QuotesTrivia During a party scene, Al Marsh (Red Skelton) does an "Irish tenor" skit, intermingling comedy and song. As the audience laughs, he comments "Well, you knew I wasn`t Howard Keel when I came out here." Howard Keel, of course, co-starred in the movie as "Tony Naylor."
The plot of the original Broadway show "Roberta", on which the movie is based, was almost entirely changed for this film, except for the situation of somebody inheriting a dress shop. But the two songs written for the 1935 film version of "Roberta" were retained for this film. Several of the songs from the show which were omitted from the 1935 film were brought back for Howard Keel to sing.
Howard Keel`s character was named "Tony Naylor". During the 1950s and 60s, one of the most popular hang-outs for the stars in to meet after the filming was called "Tiny Naylors". It was located in Hollywood at the corner of Sunset Blvd and Vine Streets. Keel`s characters` name was a nod to that famous coffee shop. The lavish fashion-show sequence, directed by the uncredited Vincente Minnelli, showcased the gowns of Adrian, the influential designer associated with MGM`s golden age of Garbo, Shearer, Harlow and Crawford. Adrian`s work on the entire feature concluded his 28-year film career.
