Someone made a comment about the reason for the arrest of the people on stage. He or she did not understand the reason for the arrest. Apparently, the number was done other times, and at the end of the performance,one of the ladies tights split, and you could hear the rip. I think that was the reason for the arrests. That is just a guess mind you. I any event the movie always stirs my patriotism when I watch it. I was in the Marine Corps. also, and Robert wagner could not have gotten away with the things that he did. Debra paget has always been one of my favorite actresses next to Maureen O'Hara that is.She was great in Broken Arrow also. The portion of the movie when Clifton Webb ( John Philip Sousa) had his whole band at a plantation and the singers sang the Battle Hymn Of The Republic, always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I get chills hearing the great voices in that choir.
