Trivia

In the scene where Fanny is flying there was an error in the control tower that forced the aircraft to circle the airport for almost 30 minutes. Barbra has a fear of flying and was screaming the whole time until the plane landed. See more »

Goofs

Anachronisms: When Fanny Brice takes off, singing, in the yellow biplane, the plane is shown taking off from a runway clearly marked with Instrument Landing System (ILS) bars, which had not yet been developed in the late 1920's when the scene is set. See more »

Quotes

Fanny Brice: [at her first meeting Billy Rose] If we hate the same people and you get your suit cleaned, it's a match.
