Thought Betty Grable was in it.

I thought Betty Grable was in it. Liked the three, though. Slow moving sort of musical. Badly faded print. Colors faded. How to Marry a Millionaire it reminded me of. Gold Diggers of 1946, lol. $9.75 daily rate for deluxe hotel suite looked like it might be $1,000 a night today. Later pics these three were in -- Look for the Silver Lining, On the Town, Guys and Dolls.

I was hoping to see a lot of dancing, but I saw one big dance fantasy scene performed by none other than Vera-Ellen, she of Miss Turnstiles fame in On the Town opposite Gene Kelly. Here, she frolics in childhood frocks on a fantasy carousel plus on a huge piano, then dances opposite a bunch of scary-looking men dressed in Dutch-Boy costumes. The dancing was very energetic, odd but different.

The two men sweet on June Haver reminded me of Mae West, who figured that it is always better to have an extra one on the back burner, just in case.
