Betty Grable once said that this was one of her two favorite musicals to make. (The other was Mother Wore Tights (1947), which also deserves to be released on DVD). Sweet Rosie O'Grady has a sweet story, lovely costumes, glamorous Technicolor and beautiful songs. Add to that, excellent support from Robert (Father Knows Best) Young, Adolphe Menjou, Reginald Gardiner, and Virginia Grey. But the real/reel reason to watch is that sweet, lovely, glamorous, beautiful star with the million dollar legs---Betty Grable! Much more talented than the critics gave her credit for, Grable can charm the pants off the Police Gazette (where Young and Menjou hang their hats). And when she cuddles up in a bubble bath and sings that scrumptious song, your heart is going to melt. (By the way, the photo is from Wabash Avenue (1950), another Grable musical that needs to be released on DVD!).
