| Trivia | When the film was re-released in November 1952, Columbia redesigned the opening title credits with the name of Marilyn Monroe over the title, and the name of Adele Jergens, who originally had top billing, moved to the head of the supporting cast; this is the version that was shown on Turner Classic Movies.

Chorus Girl #3: Speaking of passes, I've been knocking down so many lately, I feel like an All-American. See more » |
