Sweet Rosie O'Grady (1943)


Directed by Irving Cummings
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Betty Grable stars in this colorful musical from Fox. Its paper-thin plot has Betty getting back at reporter Robert Young by pretending to be in love with him and spreading rumors. Young loses his job, but inevitably falls in love for real. Endearing Americana of a bygone era, both its 1880s period setting and the colorful escapism of the wartime year of its production, are its main appeal, and of course the lovely Betty.
