You Were Never Lovelier

Trivia

• Nominated for: Academy Award for Best Original Musical Score; Academy Award for Best Sound.
• The film was the second of two films starring the duo of Astaire and Hayworth, following the box-office success of the previous year's You'll Never Get Rich.
• The new film avoided the wartime themes of the previous film, while benefiting from lavish production values – a consequence of the box-office success of the earlier film.
• Kern created a standard with "I'm Old Fashioned". Initially, Kern was unhappy about the selection of Cugat and his orchestra; however, when production was complete, he was so pleased with the band's performance that he presented Cugat with a silver baton.
