Facts about

The song "Hangin' on to You" was written for the film but not used.
A Fred Astaire solo dance number (on a railroad track) was cut from the film, although a print containing it was shown in New York until at least 1948.
Cut from the film was a home-front-flavored swing number, "Harvey, the Victory Garden Man" (music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Johnny Mercer), sung by Ella Mae Morse to the backing of Freddie Slack and His Orchestra.
