Trivia Film debuts of Vic Damone and Fernando Lamas. Because of Vic Damone`s contract with Mercury Records, he was not heard on the MGM Records soundtrack album. Consequently, two Damone-Jane Powell ballads from the Nicholas Brodszky-Sammy Cahn score -- the Oscar-nominated "Wonder Why," also "I Can See You" -- were rerecorded by both singers for their respective labels. In addition, Mercury issued a disc of "How D`Ya Like Your Eggs in the Morning?" featuring Mr. Damone with The Pied Pipers. In the film, Vic sang this sprightly ditty with Miss Powell and The Four Freshmen. Their soundtrack recording is among the "Romantic Duets From MGM Classics," released on CD by Rhino. A fourth Powell-Damone match-up (and also a Danielle Darrieux-Fernando Lamas teaming in the film), a cozy strain called "We Never Talk Much (We Just Sit Around)," was redone by Miss Powell with male voices on an MGM Records single. The flip side had Jane performing a number sung and danced by Miss Darrieux` in the picture, "L`Amour Toujours (Tonight for Sure)." "Wonder Why," the Powell-Damone rendition plus Jane`s solo version, along with her three other commercial takes, can be encountered on a CD named "A Heart That`s Free," issued by Flare, a British label. Jane Powell was pregnant during the filming of this movie. Danielle Darrieux returned to Hollywood to make this film after several years in Europe. She plays a woman who left her family in the US to live in Europe. | ||
