Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sinatra was so green that co-star Jack Haley (the Tin Man himself!) had to physically guide him through blocking. The kid learned on the job.
This flopped so hard it nearly ended Sinatra's film career before it started—Columbia Pictures only kept him because his radio contract was ironclad. The bobby soxer revolution saved him eighteen months later.
