    • Trivia
      Betty Grable starred in this as well as its 1950 remake, Wabash Avenue (1950), along with Victor Mature and Phil Harris.
    • Goofs
      When one in New York City refers to "Brooklyn" especially in the late 19th century, it's a reference to downtown Brooklyn, just off the Brooklyn Bridge. In New York City, the boroughs are made of small towns, so when they talk of where a New Yorker is from, they say "Flushing" or Brighton Beach" etc. So the character referring to Brooklyn as implying being far is a typical New Yorker way, and the area they speak of is about 10 miles, pretty far for horse-and-buggy or steam-train.

      The words of the opening title cards, "Twentieth Century-Fox presents Betty Grable, George Montgomery Cesar Romero in Coney Island," are sung by an off-screen chorus.
