You're My Everything (1949)

Set in 1924 Boston, a starstruck girl (Anne Baxter) has a crush on a musical comedy hoofer (Dan Dailey). They fall in love and marry when he gets an offer from Hollywood for a screen test. The studio passes on him but they like his wife and she soon becomes one of the studio's biggest stars. Directed by Walter Lang (CALL ME MADAM). Yet another nostalgic musical from 20th Century Fox that's connected by the numbers. This kind of hokum has been done so many times that the audience is always one step ahead of the plot. While it's always nice to see the underrated (as a dancer) Dan Dailey dancing, his blackface finale is cringe inducing. Fortunately there's Anne Revere as Baxter's tart tongued aunt to keep the sentimentality from completely taking over. With Buster Keaton, Alan Mowbray and Selena Royle.
