Grant Watson Fiction Machine It is a really odd movie. I enjoyed it, but I could also see why it has fallen by the wayside. Rated: 6/10 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Betty Grable is still as shapely as any of her younger rivals. The story, about a showgirl with two legal husbands, is awfully scrawny. Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It catches the leggy 39-nine-year old Betty Grable near the end of her fifteen year run as a headliner. Rated: C Jun 22, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
