Interesting facts

You're My Everything is a 1949 American comedy musical film directed by Walter Lang and starring Dan Dailey and Anne Baxter.

Production

Jeanne Crain and Dan Dailey were announced as the leads in August 1948, with filming scheduled for October, but Crain's pregnancy caused her to withdraw from the project in September, with her role given to Anne Baxter. However, Baxter had never danced in a feature film and took a rushed set of Charleston lessons to prepare.

By October, the role of Jane had not been cast and the producers were frantically searching for a child actress to play the part, but nine-year-old Shari Robinson was selected from among more than 100 girls who tested for the role. The search was considered the studio's effort to identify the next Shirley Temple, and Robinson's hair was lightened and curled for the film in order to resemble a young Temple.

Production began in mid-November 1948 and wrapped in January 1949.
