I realize that the years pass and we all get older, but by film's end Betty Grable looked like an old has-been up against John Payne who aged properly for film purposes.

This being said, we have an endearing fictional biography of the Dolly Sisters who made it so big in revue's and vaudeville in the 1900s, but their devotion to each other just about wrecked Grable's relations with her husband, Harry Fox, played amicably by John Payne, who belts out I'm Always Chasing Rainbows and ditties with pleasure.

How come June Haver, as the other sister, never ages in the film?

The music and dancing here are wonderful and the story line, though so familiar in Hollywood land, is done well.

As the uncle, S.Z. Sakall is given little to do here and doesn't do his usual fracturing of the English language.

With that feel good ending, the beautiful set decorations just add to this tuneful rendition.
