- GoofsWhen Esther and Tootie perform "Under the Bamboo Tree", Tootie's bedroom slippers are pink at the beginning of the number but change to blue in the "cake walk" finale.
- Quotes
Rose Smith: Money. I hate, loathe, despise and abominate money.
Mr. Alonzo Smith: You also spend it.
- Alternate versionsJudy Garland recorded a Rodgers and Hammerstein song called "Boys and Girls Like You and Me" for the soundtrack. A scene was filmed with Garland singing the song to Tom Drake after "The Trolley Song" sequence, but the scene was cut after the first preview. The footage no longer remains, but the recording does.

Featured review
I don't care what generation I'm living in, no one will ever sing better than Judy Garland. This is one of the best MGM movies outside of The Wizard of Oz. The film is great quality for 1944. MGM had amazing movies and this was one of them. I don't think this movie will ever not be seen by any generation.
