    Description

    The Barkleys of Broadway
    began with the working title of
    You Made Me Love You
    , and with
    Judy Garland
    in the lead role opposite,  a repeat of their pairing in
    Easter Parade
    (1948). In fact, producer
    Arthur Freed
    had
    Comden
    and
    Green
    working on the script for the new film even before
    Easter Parade
    was finished.

    The film went into rehearsals with Garland, but it was soon clear that she would not be physically and emotionally able to do it. Freed contacted Ginger Rogers to see if she was interested in reuniting with Astaire: there had been rumors, denied by both, that the Astaire-Rogers working relationship had not been particularly warm, and they had not worked together since
    The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle
    in 1939. Rogers was interested, and
    The Barkleys of Broadway
    became their tenth and final film together, as well as their only film in color.
