- Dan Dailey was a very tall man, that or both Michael Kidd and Gene Kelly were wee men. (I checked Imdb, Dan Dailey was 6' 3")
- I am pretty sure that I saw the signature Pontipee dance move in this movie (done by Michael Kidd obviously).
- Dan Dailey made a really poor facial hair decision with the mustache he sports in the later half of the movie.
- Gene Kelly was a great choreographer, but really only for himself. Dan Dailey and Michael Kidd dance with Gene Kelly but really only Gene Kelly looks natural doing the moves. Dan Dailey was about 6 inches taller than Kelly and Michael Kidd is a couple inches shorter than Kelly and both Dailey and Kidd have a different build than Kelly (both are thinner). And they look weird dancing next to Gene Kelly because they look kind of awkward.
- I remain indifferent in regards to Cyd Charisse.
- I kind of wanted to watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers after seeing Michael Kidd.
- I was kind of hoping that Tommy Rall would show up somehow.
- I want to watch some more movies with Dan Dailey (and Betty Grable!).

This is very funny...and also very true! nice post!
I also learned that Michael Kidd directed Merry Andrew (which only makes my wish for Tommy Rall to have shown up more valid)
