Oh Me, Oh Miami!
22 June 2021
Betty Grable, sister Carole Landis and aunt Charlotte Greenwood inherit almost $80,000. After taxes and lawyers' fees, this works out to less than $5,000, so they go to Miami to pick a millionaire for Miss Grable, with Miss Landis as her secretary and Miss Greenwood as her maid. Soon they settle on either Don Ameche or Robert Cummings, but the choice turns out not to be that simple.

This musical remake of 1938's THREE BLIND MICE is distinguished by some nice dance numbers -- in Miss Grable's big dance, she's paired with Hermes Pan -- and of course the blinding Fox Technicolor; the location shots look like they were done at high noon. The story, of course, was a standard of the era, and despite a fairly undistinguished score, it's carried off with the usual bravura of Miss Grable's vehicles.
