Directed by: Vincente Minnelli
Starring: Judy Garland, Mary Astor, Margaret O'Brien, Lucille Bremer
Factual error: There are mountains in the background in several of the scenes, but there aren't actually any mountains in or near St Louis.
Factual error: When Judy Garland is walking around with the neighbor from next door turning down the gas lights throughout the house, the first gas chandelier in the living room that they turn off has a regular light bulb worked with a black plastic switch. (00:39:00)
Continuity mistake: In the living room, during the party, Margaret O'Brien does a dance with a straw hat and cane with Judy Garland. In one shot Margaret has on blue slippers and in another shot she has on pink slippers.
Agnes Smith: Rose, what did you get me for Christmas?
Rose Smith: You'll find out tomorrow.
Agnes Smith: I hope it's a hunting knife.
Trivia: The address - 5135 Kensington Ave. - sung about by Judy Garland in "The Boy Next Door" was a real St. Louis address located near the World's Fair grounds. The house, torn down just a few years ago, was a row house, though, not the sprawling Victorian mansion shown in the film.
Question: What is the name of the last song they dance to at the Christmas dance? I know I've heard it before, but I can't put a name on it.
