Quotes
Fluff:
No guy likes his girl being in love with somebody ahead of him. Even if that somebody is only a career.
Goofs
After the dance number with Jane and the three guys with serving trays, they place the trays behind him and the sticks on the bottom they held while dancing were clearly visible, but cut to the next shot and the trays are flat on the floor.
