* MagnumOpusDissonance: As mentioned above, this was intended as a low-budget throwaway project while the real money was being spent on ''Brigadoon''.

** Stanley Donen wanted to film in [=CinemaScope=] as he felt the wide frame would be perfectly suited to such a large cast. MGM were concerned that cinemas would not be able to support the [=CinemaScope=] format. As a result Donen had to shoot every scene ''twice'', once in [=CinemaScope=] and once in the standard 1.77:1 AspectRatio. Most sources claim that the [=CinemaScope=] version was the only one released theatrically, but the second version has occasionally popped up in TV airings. The 2004 DVD includes both versions.

* TheCastShowoff: Brothers C-F were played by professional dancers. All the brides were as well, which gave us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faQHDd1KEwg "June Bride"]]. And Creator/RussTamblyn, playing Gideon, had training as a gymnast and was a veteran acrobat. Averted by Jeff Richards, who played Benjamin; he was a former baseball player but had no singing or dancing experience, meaning he stays firmly in the back of the shot or set piece whenever the music starts up, although weirdly enough, his singing voice wasn't dubbed.
