Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDana Andrews's singing voice was dubbed by radio singer and announcer Ben Gage, who at one time was married to Esther Williams. The studio was unaware that Andrews was a trained singer. He later explained that he didn't correct the oversight because he figured the ghost singer also needed to earn a living and he didn't want to deny his colleague employment. Ironically, despite his training, in a film career that lasted three decades, Andrews never displayed his singing voice on screen.
- GoofsDuring a number of the outdoor scenes at the fair, mountains can be seen in the background that are far taller than any mountains that are found in Iowa.
- Quotes
Harry Ware: Biggest boar in the world, I bet.
Margy Frake: All depends on how you spell it.

Featured review
A Really Good "Feel Good" Film
The simpleness, and wholesomeness of this film makes it a treat to watch. The music and songs make it even more enjoyable, and the beauty of Jeanne Crain in this film would make your eyes water. A rare film with Dick Haymes who was always underrated as a singer. I feel lucky to have a VHS copy of this film.
