Trivia:
Many of the production staff usually associated with MGM musicals went to Paramount especially to work on this film, so it is, essentially, an MGM musical made at Paramount. more
Goofs:
Continuity: At the end of the film, we see Dick leave an evening fashion show party to join Jo at the church for the final dance. But a hazy filter once the church scene begins can't hide the fact that it was shot in broad daylight (complete with blue sky), even though it should still be evening. more
Quotes:
Dick Avery: You are mad, aren't you?
Jo Stockton: No, I'm not mad. I'm hurt, and disappointed, and... and mad.

awesome movie, 27 February 2006
10/10
Author: prettyone95747 from United States

I love everything about this movie. It was written by Leonard Gershe about my mother (Doe Siegel) and her love (and then husband), Richard Avedon. It depicts Mom's brilliant intellect. Her compassionate, youthful energy. Forget about reading too many nuances into this movie. Art is a departure from reality and Leonard uses his creative license well. It seems I am to include more lines before this can be submitted...what more to say. Fun. Spontaneous. Flirtacious. Romantic. I hope people enjoy the very heart of this movie. Mom continues to be a gracious, caring, and inspirationally bright woman. She gave up her career to raise her family. We love her dearly.
