  • Cut Song: Incredibly, between "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and "(I'd Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China", it was the latter song that MGM deemed too risqué, and ordered Frank Loesser to drop it from the film.
  • The Danza: Betty Barrett, played by Betty Garrett.
  • Fake Nationality:
    • Jose O'Rourke, from Argentina, played by Ricardo Montalbán, who was from Mexico but spent a fair amount of his youth in the US.
    • Pancho, presumably also Argentine, was played by Oregon native Mel Blanc.
  • Technology Marches On: Made when television was still considered a big novelty and radio was still the dominant mass medium (though the big polo match is carried on TV and we even get shots of the camera crew).
  • Those Two Actors: The third and final film pairing Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalbán, and the third of five films with Williams and Red Skelton.
