I too am a big fan. I've read and heard she was very down to earth. This is the first movie I saw of hers when I was a preteen. Beautiful especially in technicolor. I read three books about her and consider myself a kind of expert on her. She was the top female boxoffice star of the 1940s.
Betty sang, danced and knew how to show those million dollar legs. She was versatile, talented and gave us a lot of enjoyable performances in the many films she made over the years. Another nice entertaining video.
This is probably the first Grable movie I remember watching. It was on channel 44 in chicago. There were 5 of Bettys movies that they showed constantly. But they showed old crappy black and white versions of some of her technicolor films. In b&w this was ok,but in color it was incredible. Today December 18 is Bettys birthday. She would have been 103. 🎥🎶🎂🎵🎦
Anyone know the vibraharpist? He played the same instrument in the same stylish, comedic style in the 1935 George Raft picture "Every Night at Eight" in a great scene premiering Dotty Fields' tune, "I Feel A Song Coming On." Here he is six years later at it again...don't know if he is just an actor or an actual musician.
@@esmeephillips5888 - Yep, that's him. Don't think he was an actual musician; the guy seemed to specialize in doing bit part film roles pretending to be a musician, and always playing his instrument in a clever, stylish, humorous way, and never having a speaking line. He's very good at his shtick.
This was one of her best! With two handsome gentlemen paying her court plus pretty Carol Landis AND dear Charlotte Greenwood & Jack Hailey how could it miss?!
The use of a blue blouse and flowing white skirt is very cute!
And the contrasting stars on each pull the whole outfit together!
Betty Grable was typecasted as just a pinup, but she was very talented and a nice person too!

I knew this from the Charlie and His Orchestra parody for years before ever seeing the original. Shades of Robert Southey.
The best pair of legs in hollywood
Loveit
At the end of the clip the two dancing brothers have trouble staying balanced. I wonder why this was kept in? It spoils a great dancing number.
Is that a young Bob Cummings on piano?
@puritan10 Plot to musicals are kind of stupid mostly... it's usually the star and or the songs that hold them together.

Can't ID him, but he is the drummer in 'Land on Your Feet' from 'Footlight Serenade', made a little earlier with Betty. Maybe her good luck charm?

Lookatdem Gammms!!!
Interesting early use of electric guitar in a mainstream musical- influence of Charlie Christian and Les Paul.

A very entertaining musical comedy with a great cast. One my favorites of that era.
I believe in fairy tails...I believe in Santa Claus 😏Fanny
