The Sky's the Limit Facts
See More Facts about The Sky's the Limit >>
In the scene where Mr. Harriman (Robert Benchley) gives Joan Manion (Joan Leslie) the photography assignment, there are several framed pictures behind him which appear to be the famous Vargas girls.
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.
Joan Leslie's mouthed words at the fadeout were intended to be indecipherable.
Fred Astaire cut his shins and ankles on the broken glass generated during "One for My Baby."
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.
