Monroe costarred alongside Ethel Merman, Mitzi Gaynor, and Donald O'Connor in the ensemble musical which featured the songs of Irving Berlin and her sensual rendition of "Heat Wave" was a highlight and created a scandal at the time. Television personality and newspaper columnist Ed Sullivan described it as "one of the most flagrant violations of good taste" he had seen.
