With all the Betty Grable films I've watched over the years, I was thrilled to see this one I had somehow missed. I don't mean to slight costar Dick Haymes, who often serves as Betty's nemesis, but eventually comes around to accepting her presence and feminist viewpoints, even romancing her. It's a combo of a musical comedy and a plug for the women's suffrage movement, back in the 1800s. Famous stars Shirley Temple and Doris Day, for example, also starred in films("Adventure in Baltimore", and "The Ballad of Josie", respectively), highlighting the women's suffrage movement............I enjoyed all songs, even if they weren't among the most memorable. I especially enjoyed the lyrics, penned by Ira Gershwin. The music was supplied post-humously by his brother George, as edited by Kaw Swift. Betty did most of the singing in the first half, while Dick, with or without Betty, did most of the singing in the 2nd half. I'm sure I heard more songs by Betty than listed in the credits?! .........All the actors did great . Poor Gene Lockhart was saddled with the role of being the most opposed to women (especially in the person of Betty) trying to enter roles traditionally reserved for men. But, even he eventually admitted that Betty's presence, as a typewriter, in an office otherwise populated by men, was a plus for the mood of the men, without distracting them too much..........The original setting is NYC, where Betty is taking a typing class composed of both sexes. But she draws an assignment in Boston, and follows through. However, in looking for a room, she gets a cold shoulder until she happens to knock on the door of a rooming house where everyone voices their displeasure with most Bostonians, as snobs, unwilling to associate with outsiders or oddballs. ......... The film did poorly at the box office, despite the presence of two star pop singers. It's generally thought this was because the screenplay doesn't allow Betty as much casualness as usual, and her hair is dyed brown, rather than blond or platinum..........I saw it on TCM, as part of an evening program commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment. I didn't find the film on YouTube. However, the DVD is presently available. Happy viewing!
