Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was shot live for CBS's Westinghouse Studio One in 1952, meaning flubs stayed in. Dean had roughly three minutes of screen time total.
The title comes from a nonsense phrase in the script about 'ten thousand horses singing'—nobody involved could explain it then either.
