Anything Goes is a 1936 American musical film directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Bing Crosby, Ethel Merman, Charles Ruggles and Ida Lupino.^[1] It is based on the 1934 stage musical Anything Goes by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse, which included songs by Cole Porter.

When Paramount sold the film's television rights, it retitled the film Tops Is the Limit because the 1956 film version, also produced by Paramount, was currently running in theaters.
