Three Little Girls In Blue (1946)

Set in 1902, three sisters are bored with living life on a chicken farm and decide to head out to Atlantic City and look for rich husbands. One will pose as a wealthy heiress (June Haver), one as her secretary (Vivian Blaine) and one as her maid (Vera Ellen). Based on the play THREE BLIND MICE by Stephen Powys and directed by H. Bruce Humberstone (I WAKE UP SCREAMING). If the plot sounds familiar, it was made as MOON OVER MIAMI in 1941 and a mere five years later, 20th Century Fox dusted it off and made it a period musical. It's a serviceable musical but with one exception, the songs aren't exceptionally notable. The exception is the excellent You Make Me Feel So Young which went on to become a popular standard recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Helen Reddy among many others. With Celeste Holm in her film debut (doing a riff on her Ado Annie character from OKLAHOMA!), George Montgomery and Frank Latimore.
