Line 55:
* [[I Owe You My Life]]: [[Subverted]]; throughout the film we see Phil constantly reminding Bob of his "war wound", so he'll do what Phil wants -- i.e. form the double act, become producers, go to Vermont, etc. Granted, we wouldn't have a plot otherwise, but on the other hand you can sympathise with Bob when he vents about how manipulative Phil is being.
* [[May-December Romance]]: Both Bob-Betty and Phil-Judy. Bob is clearly in his forties in 1954, and while Phil could conceivably be as young as his late twenties it's far more likely he's in his middle thirties. Meanwhile Betty is no more than 25, and Judy is probably 19.
* [[The Men First]]: General Waverly. ("We ate, and then he ate. We slept, and then he slept.")
* [[Minstrel Shows|Minstrel Show]]: A fairly sanitized "Minstrel Show" number as part of the revue, lacking blackface and offensive dialect, and looking more like Mardi Gras than anything else.
* [[Montage]]: Several, including a [[Time Compression Montage]] showing the progress of Wallace and Davis's joint career.
