Note: In the opening credits it says Harris and Scott. The film is cut off so I don’t know in reference to what. There is a funny routine in the movie where the bartender is dancing with a customer and it looks like a routine so I wondered if the might be Harris and Scott but I didn’t find any references of them being a known comedy team or known dancers. The bartenders name is never used so I can’t identify him from the cast list.
