Directed by: Michael Curtiz

Continuity mistake: In the dressing room scene just before Mr. Albee's visit, as Jerry Cohan is talking he wraps a scarf around his neck. He leaves one end outside of the dressing gown, but in the next shot, both ends are tucked in.
Continuity mistake: When George is chopping wood, his coat is either buttoned or unbuttoned, depending on the shot.
Visible crew/equipment: In the final musical number "Strictly off the Record", you can clearly see the shadow of the microphone boom during part of the number.
George M. Cohan: Thanks, Sam. It'll be great as long as those critics don't start to eat off my leg.
Sam Harris: Oh, don't worry about the critics! You got a smash hit! It's in the air, kid! It's in the air! You can't stop anything that's in the air.
Trivia: Rosemary DeCamp plays Nellie Cohan in this film, the mother of George M. Cohan, played by James Cagney. She was actually eleven years younger than Cagney.
