the film kept the famous songs "yesterdays", "let's begin" (with altered lyrics), and "smoke gets in your eyes" from the play, along with a fourth song, "i'll be hard to handle". three songs from the play were dropped—"the touch of your hand", "something had to happen" and "you're devastating". two songs were added to this film, "i won't dance" (resurrected from the flop kern show "three sisters") and "lovely to look at", which both became #1 hits in 1935. the latter addition was nominated for the best song oscar. the songs "i won't dance" and "lovely to look at" have remained so popular that they are now almost always included in revivals and recordings of "roberta".
