 Judy Garland (qv) and Frank Morgan (qv), who appeared together  in _Wizard of Oz, The (1939)_ (qv), were supposed to reappear  together in this film. Garland was fired because of health problems,  and Frank Morgan died shortly after filming began. As a result of  this, Betty Hutton took on Judy Garlands role as Annie Oakley, and  Louis Calhern succeeded Frank Morgan as Buffalo Bill.
