  • Actor Allusion: During "I Won't Dance", Ginger Rogers sings to Fred Astaire: "But when you dance you're charming and you're gentle/ Especially when you do the Continental," referring to the dance in their previous film, The Gay Divorcee. The two then strike a pose from that number while the band plays a riff.
  • Breakaway Pop Hit: The song, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes had been Covered Up so many times by a variety of artists since the film was released. The most popular cover was by The Platters in 1958.
