Interesting facts

April Love is a 1957 American musical film directed by Henry Levin and produced by David Weisbart, based on the novel Phantom Filly by George Agnew Chamberlain. Photographed in CinemaScope and DeLuxe Color by Wilfred M. Cline, it was the fourth most popular movie of 1957 and stars Pat Boone, Shirley Jones, Arthur O'Connell, Dolores Michaels, Matt Crowley, Jeanette Nolan and Bradford Jackson.

Production

The movie was a remake of Home in Indiana (1944) and was originally called Young in Love. Production began in June 1957, before the public had seen Boone's first move Bernardine. Henry Levin directed both Bernadine and April Love.

Filming took place in Hollywood and on location in Kentucky. At the beginning of the shoot in Kentucky, Boone was in a car accident while filming a scene. He was a passenger in a car which was to be overtaken by a car driven by two local girls; the cars collided but Boone was uninjured. Boone did not kiss Shirley Jones on screen for fear of upsetting his wife.
