* HideYourPregnancy: The movie had to shoot around Shirley Jones' pregnancy, getting as many full-body shots out of the way as quickly as they could before she began to show. When she and Robert Preston filmed "Till There Was You," on one take he accidentally bumped into her... well, bump, asking "What was that?" to which she replied "My son." Years later, Preston was introduced to Jones's then-grown son and joked that they had already met.

* DawsonCasting: Harold Hill's actual age is never explicitly stated, but he makes claims to have graduated from Gary Conservatory in 1905, seven years prior to the events of the story. Even though this is a lie, the fact that people believe it provides insight into his actual age. A conservatory graduate would usually be the same age as a college graduate, or about 22, making Hill approximately 29 years old. Robert Preston was 39 when he played the role on Broadway, and 44 in the movie. Matthew Broderick was also 41 when he headlined the 2003 version. In more extreme cases, Creator/DickVanDyke and Creator/JeffGoldblum both played the role when they were in their ''fifties''. Creator/HughJackman will also be playing Hill in his early fifties.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/WarnerBros didn't want Robert Preston to reprise his role as Harold Hill in the 1962, as he wasn't a box office draw. Creator/BingCrosby was offered the role, but turned it down. Jack L. Warner offered the role to Creator/CaryGrant, but he declined, saying "nobody could do that role as well as Bob Preston". Grant also reportedly told Warner that he would not bother to see the film unless Preston was in it. Warner also wanted Creator/FrankSinatra. Creator/FredAstaire, Creator/DannyKaye and Creator/GeneKelly were also considered.
