*ForcedDancePartner: Phil and Judy have no idea why Betty has suddenly cooled where Bob is concerned. Bob has no idea either, so is surprised when she stops dancing with him as soon as possible. Phil and Judy start dancing with Betty and Bob and then attempt to change partners. Betty doesn't even put on a front this time, running away immediately.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: In the opener, General Waverly is shown with his replacement. Upon hearing that the men are being entertained in an impromptu show by Wallace and Davis, the replacement General snidely comments that they should be standing for inspection. Waverly is apologetic and deferential. The problem is that the replacement General is indirectly questioning Waverly's leadership by saying that they should be standing for inspection. Combat troops who are being moved forward don't waste time standing for an inspection; they're instructed to eat, rest, and get their gear together so they're ready to move out when the time comes.[[note]]Troops are inspected before going into combat, but the inspection is done ''very'' differently than the parade ground inspection that the replacement general is talking about.[[/note]] Waverly is a two-star general, and the replacement is a one-star. No two-star general would tolerate this bullshit from a one-star. Waverly is being relieved for health reasons, not because of a failure to command or that his men aren't getting the job done. In reality Waverly would have ripped him a new asshole, and if he was sufficiently pissed he would have contacted HQ and informed them that they'd better get another general out here, because he's not turning over command of ''HIS'' men to this martinet.

!!The 2008 stage adaptation includes examples of:
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Martha is given the background of having been a Broadway legend before working at the inn.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Phil is still an affable guy, but is portrayed in this version as more a willing womanizer than a CluelessChickMagnet. While wooing Judy, he still flirts with chorus girls, causing their central conflict. On the other hand, since his saving of Bob's life is AdaptedOut, he's not holding that over his friend's head in this version.
* LargeHam: Mike Nulty, Phil and Bob's stage manager, who's always shouting at everyone to [[HypocriticalHumor calm down]] and get the show together.

* SnobsVsSlobs: Fussy, professional stage manager Mike is rather put-off by laid-back farmboy Ezekiel.
