- TriviaThe precision tap dance performed by Jack Haley, Alice Faye and Shirley Temple required endless takes. Although Haley, Faye and Temple were all excellent tap dancers, they found it extremely difficult to stay in sync for such a long and complicated number.
- GoofsIn the end credits, actress Sara Haden's first name is misspelled as "Sarah."
- Quotes
Stebbins: That's the third sneeze.
Collins: I'm afraid you'll have to go to bed.
Barbara Barry: But I'm not sick. I feel fine!
Woodward: Oh, Collins, she's perfectly well. A sneeze is nothing to be alarmed at.
Collins: Maybe so, But I'm responsible for the child. Come along, dear.
Woodward: The child sneezes, and you'd think the world has come to an end. Why can't they leave her alone? She's a perfectly normal, healthy child. The way they carried on here, you'd think she was made of glass! Something ought to be done.
Collins: How Mr. Barry can stand that woman is beyond me.
Woodward: You can't expect a widower and a man as busy as Mr. Barry to notice everything that goes on in the house.

Played during the opening credits
Sung by Tony Martin
Later Sung by Shirley Temple
Finally Sung by Alice Faye
The performances are right up there. One of my favourite screen stars Alice Faye is so brilliant, she never gets lost in Temple's glare as do so many of her costars. Jack Haley is hilarious, and the songs are amazing. Alas, Gloria Stuart isn't given much to do but she looks wonderful.
Favourite moments include the spaghetti-eating scene, Shirley's conversation with the curb-side porter and of course "You Gotta Eat Your Spinach Baby." Fine film for parents to watch with their kids.
Try to get the original black and white version if you can, the colorized version looks a little weird.
