Corrected entry: The biblical reference that Sky 'corrects' when he visits Sarah in her mission is not a real reference. This mistake is also included in the stage show.

Correction: The reference is real. It's in Isaiah 57:21. My bible reads "'No peace,' says Yahweh, 'for the wicked.'"

Correction: The mistake is the book:verse designation in the reference. It is Isaiah 57:22 in the script, which does not exist in the Bible. It's actually Isaiah 57:21. Also, there are only 31 books in Proverbs, so Sarah would definitely noticed the 57 chapter mistake. Alas.

Corrected entry: During "Follow the Fold", There are lots of womens voices singing along with the men, but there are only two or three women.

Correction: There are only two women's voices heard. Since there are two women in the group, this is correct.

Continuity mistake: Adelaide performs her first number and finds Nathan in her dressing room. There is a pink robe draped over the partition. Placement of this robe changes during the scene without being touched. (00:49:45 - 00:50:30)

Sky Masterson: One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Trivia: Sinatra originally went for the role of Sky, but was given the job of Nathan. He didn't think Nathan was as good as Sky's character.
