Much of the film was shot at Fort Lee, VA, a WAC training camp. According to an April 1952 Variety item and the Variety review, interiors were to be shot at the Walt Disney Studios, marking the first time that an outside production was to be filmed there.
The picture had its world premiere in Washington, D.C., a gala event attended by many dignitaries, including Gen. Omar Bradley. According to a Louella Parsons column, First Lady Mamie Eisenhower declined an invitation to the premiere because the theater that was hosting the event had segregated seating. The picture was reportedly the first to be screened at the Eisenhower White House, however.
