Busby Berkeley's For Me and My Gal (1942) is a charming love story dressed up in a song and dance musical. Judy Garland and George Murphy make a great team, I really enjoyed watching. They had great chemistry and they worked really well together for the musical numbers. Murphy's character Jimmy was so charming and smooth, I was dying for Jo (Garland) to fall for him.
This film went from happy-go-lucky to dramatic by the end and turned into a tearjerker. It was tragic for me when Jo heard the news of her brother dying in battle. And it was understandable for her to think that Jimmy was trying to dodge the draft by breaking his hand. Even when Jimmy was supposed to look like the bad guy I still loved him because he couldn't turn of his charm.
The ending was poetic and pretty the way the two love birds accidentally reunited. This happy ending made it a feel-good movie!
