| 1 | * CreatorBreakdown: Beatrice Lillie was showing the early signs of Alzheimer's disease and had trouble remembering her lines. Julie Andrews would stand off-camera and repeat her lines for her so Beatrice could finish the scenes. This would be her last film. |
| 2 | * CutSong: Creator/MaryTylerMoore claims she originally had a solo song that got cut from the film. |
| 3 | * TheDanza: James Fox plays James van Hossmere. Ditto for his singing voice Jimmy Bryant. |
| 4 | * ExecutiveMeddling: Miss Dorothy was originally the main character. When Julie Andrews was cast, the studio had her role beefed up so that Millie was now the lead. |
| 5 | * FakeNationality: Pat Morita and Jack Soo were both Japanese playing Chinese henchmen. Creator/PhilipAhn was Korean. |
| 6 | * MidDevelopmentGenreShift: Originally conceived as a light comedy to help make Mary Tyler Moore the "next Doris Day", when Julie Andrews came on board it was changed to a musical. |
| 7 | * NonSingingVoice: Jimmy Bryant dubbed James Fox for his singing. |
| 8 | * RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: The opening montage features Millie deciding to bob her hair as she starts her new life. Creator/JulieAndrews herself had long hair on the stage but bobbed it as she filmed ''Film/MaryPoppins''. |
| 9 | * SuppressedMammaries: A rare adult example: Creator/JulieAndrews did this in order to achieve TheRoaringTwenties-appropriate pettanko "flapper" look and lampshaded it within the film. |
| 10 | * ThrowItIn: Carol Channing was supposed to blow a raspberry, but misunderstood. The result is her character instead gleefully chirping out "raspberries!" to the ''very'' confused other characters. |
| 11 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: The studio wanted Creator/RobertWagner for Jimmy, but he was played by James Fox. |
