News reports in the fall of 1960 stated that Judy Holliday had been approached to play Rose in this film. Later sources have said that Judy Garland was considered for the role, and that Ann-Margret was considered for Louise.
In the final cut, "You'll Never Get Away From Me" is a solo for Rose, and "Together (Wherever We Go)" is cut entirely. The DVD release contains the full versions of both as special features.
Some sources state that Marni Nixon dubbed some notes for Natalie Wood in "Little Lamb," but Nixon herself said that Wood did her own singing. Close watching (and listening) suggests that Wood's singing in "Little Lamb" was done live on the set, with the vocal neither pre-recorded nor post-dubbed.
