Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was pure WAVES recruitment propaganda—Paramount partnered with the Navy to boost women's enlistment. Betty Hutton's dual role was the selling point.
The 'Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive' number became Crosby's biggest hit of the 1940s, completely eclipsing the film itself. Everyone forgot the twins, nobody forgot the song.
