Facts about

Three songs were written for the movie but were not used: "Knock Knees" (Music by Harry Ruby & Lyrics by Bert Kalmar), "Looking for the Lovelight in Your Eyes" (Music by Harry Ruby & Lyrics by Bert Kalmar) and "If I Were a Traveling Salesman" (Music by Joe Burke & Lyrics by Al Dubin). The songs were used in Top Speed
There is some question about the authors of the song "Wherever You Are." Both the AFI Catalog and The Motion Picture Guide list them as Charles Tobias and Cliff Friend. However, published sheet music (Cinema Sheet Music, McFarland, 1991) indicate it was Harry Ruby and Bert Kalmar. Tobias and Friend did write a song called "Wherever You Are," but the lyrics are entirely different than those sung in this movie.
