Quotes from
Hans:
Did you ever hear the story of the old woman who shook her head at the family so much that one night it fell off? Right on the dinner table.
Hans: You'd be surprised how many kings are only a queen with a mustache.
Hans: You know I like to think that shoes have a mind of their own. The ones that squeak don't want to leave the shop, and the ones that don't fit don't like the person that's wearing them.

Facts about
This film marked the finish of producer Samuel Goldwyn's distribution pact with RKO, which resulted in 20 releases spanning 11 years, beginning with The Little Foxes.
Producer Samuel Goldwyn had originally wanted Moira Shearer to star in this film.
In order to cover the necessary camera tricks, and to add "magic" to the Little Mermaid ballet, it was decided that, rather than presenting it as an actual ballet, they would have Hans imagine how it would look. This allowed them to do things on the screen which would be impossible on the stage.
