290. (26 Nov) Mother Wore Tights (1947, Walter Lang) 35



Betty Grable and Dan Dailey are cute enough as the singing and dancing duo at the center of Mother Wore Tights, but this is quite typical of the unremarkable subgenre of musical comedies about vaudeville. Generic gags, a predictable plot and repetitive numbers make this all the more ordinary. The charming Oscar-nominated "You Do" is the high point. The cinematography remains rich despite the routines all taking place on stage.
