Ginger Rogers, making her first all-colour film, had one of the juiciest parts of her career in this heady (and heavy) mixture of music, romance and psychiatry. Strangely, although many of them were filmed, not all the Kurt Weill-Ira Gershwin songs from the stage original by Moss Hart (which had starred Gertrude Lawrence) made it into the release print. The movie was a hit for Paramount, who had paid the then record sum of 283,000 dollars for the rights and spent two million dollars making it.
