b.		The play by Damon Runyon and Irving Caesar was based on an earlier short story, "That Ever Loving Wife of Mine" which appeared Hearsts International-Cosmopolitan in 1931. The play was never produced.

d.		By mid-July 1957, the songwriters had still not come up with the title song. One evening, Frederick Loewe was at a piano while Alan Jay Lerner was indisposed in the bathroom, and when Loewe began playing a particular melody, he later recalled Lerner jumped up, "his trousers still clinging to his ankles, and made his way to the living room. Play that again, he said." That melody ended up as the films title song.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Straight Place and Show (1938)?
a.		The first time that Irving Thalbergs name appeared onscreen. The movie - the last one he produced - was dedicated to him "as his last great achievement."
b.		In 2004, the movie was completely restored from the original three Technicolor negatives. This time, digital technology was employed to create results impossible to achieve with traditional methods. The negatives were scanned in at 2K resolution and digitally combined to remove all previous alignment problems and achieve perfect registration despite different amounts of shrinkage in the masters. The resulting digital master is of higher quality than any prints available so far - including the original prints from 1939. The color was timed to be identical to that of the surviving answer print of David O. Selznick, which is the color reference for the film. Reportedly, Selznicks original answer print was lost but it turned up five weeks into the 2004 digital restoration process. The color timing of the new digital master was subsequently stopped and started all over again from scratch. This 2004 digitally restored version looks truly astonishing, particularly when projected with a digital projector. An improved version, this time working at 4K resolution is already approved and should be finished in 2005. The 2009 Blu Ray Release comes from a new improved version 8K resolution scan and that is maximum possible limit for 70mm format.
c.		Robert Allen and Paul Hurst were listed in contemporary news items as cast members but they did not appear in the movie.
d.		The French assignment that McGivern fails to recite properly is a French translation of the poem On Seeing the Elgin Marbles for the First Time by John Keats.
