    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Juanita Hall, who had played Bloody Mary in the original Broadway production, sang her own songs onstage, but was dubbed in the film version at the request of composer Richard Rodgers. He and musical director Alfred Newman brought in Muriel Smith (who had played Bloody Mary in London).
    • Goofs
      The appearance of African Americans as Seabees is not an error. Over 12,000 such sailors served in the Construction Brigades, despite segregation in other parts of the WWII military.
    • Quotes
      • Bloody Mary: [the ancient Mary is looking him up and down] Lieu-tellen, you sexy man.
      • Lt. Cable: Thanks... You're looking pretty... er, fit yourself.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1999 DVD contains some scenes where the color filters are either more subtle or completely removed compared to previous versions. However, the filters were reinstated for the 2006 DVD and 2009 Blu-Ray.
