Goofs
During the montage depicting the film's title song rising on Variety's best seller chart, the same front page of Variety is shown when the song is at #11 as when it reaches #1 ten weeks later. Also, the song that started out at #14 reached #1 two weeks before "Lady Be Good." Where's the movie about THAT song?
