Betty Grable was the Queen of Fox musicals and the Queen of Technicolor! When My Baby Smiles At Me is a terrific movie with one of her favorite costars - Dan Daily. They sing, they dance, they fight. There are a ton of great songs and beautiful costumes. It's a fun musical romance and if you're a Betty fan you'll enjoy watching it :-)
