Differences Between Soundtrack and Film Performances
The soundtrack album, like many from its time, edits instrumental portions from songs, as well as leaving off several reprises and includes intros and outros specifically recorded for the soundtrack album. The album is missing instrumental portions of "Open A New Window" and the title track, as well as reprises of "It's Today," "We Need A Little Christmas," "Open A New Window," and "Bosom Buddies." "The Man In The Moon" also contains a longer ending and a reprise within the scene that don't appear on the soundtrack album. However, the soundtrack album version of "Bosom Buddies" is longer than the version that appears in the film. The lines "We'll always be dear companions/My cronie/My mate/We'll always be harmonizing/Orphan Annie and Sandy/Like Amos and Andy" were cut from the number in the film. The instrumental intro to "It's Today" is different from the intro in the film, and the instrumental intro to the finale is also completely different from the instrumental reprise of "My Best Girl" that precedes it in the film.In the "Loving You" song written for Robert Preston, a line on the soundtrack ("Loving you is Rome and New Orleans") is different than the line in the film.

Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences, film and/or performances:
“The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
