The story was [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory very loosely inspired by]] Adolph Green's answering service operator, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Printz Mary Printz]], who would go to extreme lengths to help her clients, far beyond just answering the phone. The musical was conceived as a star vehicle for Judy Holliday, who also appeared in a film version released in 1960, with Creator/DeanMartin as Jeffrey Moss. This film version, directed by Creator/VincenteMinnelli, was the last of the many movie musicals produced for Creator/{{MGM}} by Arthur Freed.
