In November 1947 it was announced Esther Williams would appear in a film set in Sun Valley, The Duchess of Idaho. Dorothy Cooper and Jerry Davis were assigned the script. Robert Cummings was originally mentioned as a potential male lead but the role went to Van Johnson, who had made three films with Williams before. A film unit left MGM on 21 August 1948 to shoot second unit at Sun Valley. Ricardo Montalban was announced as the third lead. Filming was pushed back when Williams fell pregnant. Then it was announced Cummings and Janet Leigh would support Williams and Johnson. These roles would be played by John Lund (borrowed from Paramount) and Paula Raymond.

In her autobiography, Million Dollar Mermaid, Williams called this a "re-hash of the Esther Williams formula: the mismatched lovers plot. It was enough to give one a case of cinematic deja vu."

This marked Eleanor Powell's first film appearance in six years as well as her last film appearance. Williams reported that Powell had practiced her cameo's routine until her feet bled, claiming that it had to be perfect.

Lena Horne's contract with MGM also ended with this film, though she would make several more MGM musical appearances later in the decade.

• Let's Choo Choo Choo to Idaho; Written by Al Rinker and Floyd Huddleston; Sung by Van Johnson, Connie Haines and The Jubilaires
• You Can't Do Wrong Doin' Right; Written by Al Rinker and Floyd Huddleston; Sung by Van Johnson and Connie Haines
• Of All Things; Written by Al Rinker and Floyd Huddleston; Sung by Connie Haines
• Baby Come Out of the Clouds; Written by Henry Nemo and Lee Pearl; Sung by Lena Horne

Several musical numbers filmed for the movie were cut from the theatrical release. The deleted songs were:

• "Warm Hands, Cold Heart," sung by Mel Tormé
• "You Won't Forget Me," sung by Lena Horne
• "You Do Something to Me," the Cole Porter standard, also sung by Lena Horne

These performances would later surface on a special DVD packaged in a 2004 box set of the That's Entertainment! films.

According to MGM records the film earned $2,851,000 domestically and $1,385,000 foreign, making the studio a profit of $921,000.

Cue magazine found the film to be "a big, beautiful bore. The comedy is rapid and the pace is sleepy."
