All the songs are by Cole Porter, - among the highlights are Gene Kelly singing "Ninia", Judy Garland singing "Mack the Black", and the final song "Be a Clown". "Be a Clown" has a wonderful dance sequence involving Kelly and the Nicholas Brothers - inclusion of black dancers in mainstream Hollywood film at this point was controversial and no doubt impacted on the limited success of the film which is nevertheless seen by many as one of the greatest classic Hollywood musicals. The film could also be interpreted as drawing on Garland's role in the Wizard of Oz almost a decade earlier, inasmuch as the film is similarly based around Garland's dreams and wishes, but put in a much more adult context.
