Diamond Horseshoe [1945] [DVD]Betty Grable (actor) Dick Haymes (actor) Format: all region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 100 min Quality: Digital
Probably the best of the Betty Grable vehicles. For once, she had a decent director in George Seaton, who ensured that the garish 20th Century-Fox production was well appointed - check those wacky condiment costumes! - and that the songs were well above the usual recycled period standards.
This is the film that introduced the endearing hit The More I See You. Grable and co-star Dick Haymes are well supported by troupers Phil Silvers and Margaret Dumont, but the plot's as meagre as usual.
Musical starring Betty Grable and Dick Haymes. Nightclub owner's son Joe Davis alarms his father when he decides to drop his medical studies in favour of a showbiz career. Then Joe falls for a beautiful showgirl. |
