FOR ME AND MY GAL (1942) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Busby Berkeley
Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, George Murphy,
Ben Blue, Marta Eggerth, Horace McNally
A hustling song-and-dance man and a girl with a great voice team up on the vaudeville circuit, hoping to someday play the Palace. There are complications, and then World War One gets in the way. Lots of great songs and a fair amount of flag-waving patriotism, with Kelly in his first movie and Garland in her first adult role. Wisconsin note: One of the tank-town theaters Gene and Judy play is the Beaver in Beaver Dam.
