# Talk:Top Hat

As far as I am aware, the lyrics to Irving Berlin's "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" are under copyright, either to the Berlin Estate or their assignees. Saving objection I propose to remove them from the article. Dermot 18:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Dermot

The article appears neutral, stable and generally well-written. The images, including one with a fair-use rationale, appear to be in order, though that isn't my field of expertise. The referencing is a seldom-used style, and might be more easily read in a note-and-bibliography style, but appears consistent and therefore acceptable.
The main problem for the article is the final two sections, "awards" and "contemporary reviews". The former section lacks any references. The latter is in bullet point form, and should be re-written as a paragraph paragraphs of the article in normal text style. The section "Musical numbers and choreography" is laid out as a list, and I think might read better if changed to normal paragraph style, but it doesn't bother me as much - and it seems OK in terms of WP:EMBED. But the two final sections need to be sorted for a GA listing. Regards. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Awards and review section need to be re-written, got it. I'll get on it as soon as I have enough free time available. 24.189.90.68 (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

The gross revenue is listed as $1,782,000.  This is the gross domestic revenue.  The film also made $1,420,000 in foreign revenue, for a total gross of $3,202,000, and a profit of $1,325,000.  Perhaps the overall gross should be listed to give the correct impression that this was one of the biggest hits of 1935.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.170.131.95 (talk) 04:10, 11 May 2011 (UTC) 

although the gondolas and canals are supposed to be some kind of fantasy equivalent of Venice, the only lines in the script just refer to it as "Italy."

Characters mention several times that they are going to the Lido. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice_Lido 45.46.206.14 (talk) 00:40, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

The most startling thing about the screenplay is the characters' assumption that Fred Astaire's and Edward Everett Horton's characters are engaged in an affair! How this got past the Hayes Office is hard to understand. Why it is not discussed in this article is even harder to understand. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 18:34, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Are there sources out there for the DVD releases. It seems like a small thing to be missing n an otherwise Good article. AIRcorn (talk) 02:11, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
