Production
Betty Grable and Jackie Coogan were married at the time and had appeared together the previous year playing supporting roles in the musical comedy College Swing starring George Burns, Gracie Allen, Martha Raye and Bob Hope. Coincidentally, it wasn't long after this film that the movie studio Twentieth Century-Fox would insure Grable's legs in real life for 1 million dollars.[1]

gollark: I'd say it obviously depends on the picture. I mean, a blank white page is not very meaningful, but you can probably fit a few hundred words of *text* into an image, or describe a lot about a landscape or something.
gollark: The saying about pictures containing a thousand words is inaccurate.The average picture contains a large amount of information by many metrics, but a much *smaller* amount of it is actually meaningful and relevant to whatever you're doing with the picture.
gollark: Hmm. Well.
gollark: You mean rap *by* me, or rap *about* me?
