A previous post claimed that the song was in the movie; it was not, unless it was filmed and then pulled, with the filmed version later released as an 'added feature' on DVD.

It was replaced in the film by the grossly inferior "Pet Me Papa", probably because it had been so popular prior to the film's release that the producers thought that the public was tired of it.

The original stage Sky and Nathan were, as I recall, Robert Alda and Sam Levine respectively.

Sinatra wanted Sky - badly - but had to settle for Nathan.

The Nathan Detroit character was based on a real gambler named Meyer Boston.
