Three for the Show (1955)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by H.C. Potter
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)

Betty Grable ends up legally married to two husbands when Jack Lemmon, assumed to be killed in action, returns home alive and well. She decides to keep them both, leading to some unfunny and immature scenes between the "love triangle". The romance aside, there are some good songs and energetic dancing since the trio are actually hard working Broadway stars. It never takes itself too seriously, so ultimately it's a likeable, if unmemorable, musical, Grable's penultimate film appearance before going to Broadway full-time herself in real life.
