Did you know
- TriviaAt the beginning of the "Bring On The Beautiful Girls" number, several older women are shown; these are women who actually appeared in the original Ziegfeld Follies on stage.
- GoofsTowards the end of the "This Heart of Mine" number, as Fred Astaire and Lucille Bremer begin to dance back to the palace, dancers in the background (screen left) clearly are struggling to stabilize some of the antler-tree props.
- Quotes
Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.: Children play with the dreams of tomorrow. And old men play with the memories of yesterday.
- Crazy creditsZiegfeld Follies credits are in alphabetical order. That is why "Bunin" comes before "Charisse"

Featured review
1/2 Grandeur, 1/2 Glamour
If you get easily bored with those old movies that seem to roll and roll forever, this is for you. It really has no plot, but you really don't need one. You could call this movie the Grand Ball, because it really is a set of dances. (Except for a few comedy scenes) Overall, I strongly believe that it is a really good movie, especially in those Fred Astaire numbers (Here's to the Girls, This Heart of Mine, and the Limehouse Blues) This movie is a real MUST for classic movie and Ziegfeld lovers alike.
