- TriviaDuring the Mr. and Mrs. number José Ferrer was actually singing and dancing with his then-wife Rosemary Clooney, who was pregnant at the time.
- GoofsSongs are not presented in the correct chronological order in which they were written, nor from the shows in which they were introduced. For example, "Maytime" was a 1917 show, not a 1920s show, as presented here. "Softly, as In a Morning Sunrise" came from "New Moon" (1928) and was not written a decade earlier for Gaby Deslys; "It" was from "The Desert Song" (1926), a much later show than "Artists and Models", as presented here.

Featured review
Uneven (like most bios), but not without its rarities.
This film is a curiosity more than anything else. Like most of MGM's alleged composer biographies, it distorts the details of the composer's actual life (in this case Broadway operetta composer Sigmund Romberg), but hangs all of his magnificent songs on an all-star coat rack. And there lies the attraction: seeing Gene Kelly in his only on-screen appearance with real life brother Fred; Jose Ferrer performing with real life bride Rosemary Clooney (in all of her stunning beauty); and his friend and business compatriot Helen Traubel trilling away-- most effective in the beautiful and uncluttered "Softly" and the lush "Aufwiedersen" for the ears of a dying Merle Oberon (was librettist Oberon supposed to have a crush on composer Ferrer?). Also choice is Ann Miller's Charleston tap dancing (and she looked great in that red dress); and super-babe Cyd Charisse in an 'Arabian Nights' ballet with James Mitchell (maybe the single most erotic dance performed on film): "One Alone--" in an incredibly sexy, nearly all-lace gown.
