Seeing her on the screen, Scenarist Dwight Taylor (Top Hat) was reminded of his mother, the late famed Actress Laurette Taylor. "The comparison is irresistible," he wrote Director Minnelli. "There are only a few over the years who can say 'I'm going out to buy a can of pork and beans' and find you choking up. Judy Holliday has a lot of that. And Shirley Booth's voice has some of it.
