I watched this on Classic Reel and enjoyed the musical numbers and Maureen's fabulous hair & physique.
Like most musicals, the plot is inane and implausible. But seeing and hearing Harry James perform anytime, anywhere makes it worthwhile. The man never played a bad note. His romancing of any beautiful woman is true to his character. And the surprise at the end of the movie is a reminder that for all his talent, his libido was totally out of control. Betty Grable was not only the 20th Century Fox studios top attraction for 10 years, but one of the most gorgeous and talented women of the 1940s, How Garry could constantly cheat in her is beyond belief.
Regardless - a fun film.
