Description:

Gene Kelly's film debut. It is known that Judy Garland got him the job after seeing him in the Broadway musical "Pal Joey". This was the first film in which Judy Garland had her name billed before the title, which showed her growing importance and stature at MGM. After initial previews, much of the film's ending was re-shot in order to make Gene Kelly's draft-dodging character Harry Palmer more sympathetic to wartime audiences. The scenes in which Palmer becomes a hero in combat were among those added. The first of three movie musicals which Judy Garland and Gene Kelly starred in together, though they did appear separately in other movies and features. Producer David O. Selznick had brought Gene Kelly to Hollywood from New York but couldn't find a suitable vehicle for him, so he allowed Kelly to sign a contract with MGM, where his career flourished, beginning with this film.
