* PopCulturalOsmosis: This film is mostly remembered for the scene where Gene Kelly dances with Jerry from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''. It has caught on with younger audiences too, thanks to a ShoutOut in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' where Stewie is rotoscoped over Jerry during the same sequence.
