Production

Babes on Broadway was the third film in the "Backyard Musical" series, which included Babes in Arms (1939), Strike Up the Band (1940) and Girl Crazy (1943).

Producer Arthur Freed sought to repeat the success of Babes in Arms. Scriptwriter Fred Finklehoffe had also penned Strike Up the Band. Director and choreographer Busby Berkeley shot the musical number "Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones" in a single shot involving 38 separate camera moves.

During production, 19-year-old Garland eloped with her first husband, David Rose, in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Rooney met Ava Gardner, who would become his first wife.
