Late freight-

If one sequence was so awful and made you ill, why would you want a list of other films?

Sounds like b/s to me. :)

I really enjoyed the blackface sequence, and loved looking at the things
used in the costumes thought to be associated with the american negro
(watermelon, dice, fried chicken) just watch it as a piece of Americana..

You have to admit "Darktown Strutters Ball" is a catchy tune.

HEY THAT THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE.Nowadays black women do white face with the human hair wigs and the lighter makeup ,grow up and get over yourself..

I am white and was deeply offended, not only because of the costumes and makeup in that number but by the entire film. I am not a Betty Grable fan to begin with, I mistakenly thought Alice Faye was in the film and I do like John Payne in other films, but Miss Grable took shallow to a whole new level here. The constant lifting of her skirt, throwing her arm in front of June Haver ( who was prettier, probably younger, and was probably treated as badly as Carol Landis (Moon over Miami) was when she played Grable's sister.) To be fair, Miss Haver did a good job of copying Grable.

The costumes were atrocious, the sets unnecessarily ostentatious, the "choreography" a nightmare, and the acting was like a bad school play. If the real Dolly Sisters and Harry Fox actually saw this film I wonder why they did not sue 20th Century Fox (unless they were really like that, or worse.) A waste of two hours of my life. (I stayed to the end hoping Harry would physically kick Jenny to the curb.)The fool deserved every moment of misery she caused him for the rest of his life.
