Do You Love Me (1946)

A prim and proper dean (Maureen O'Hara) of a music academy travels by train to New York where a fellow passenger (Harry James) refers to her as an ice queen that is unattractive to men. She gets her revenge when she transforms herself into a glamour girl and he pursues her but she prefers the popular band singer (Dick Haymes) also pursuing her. Directed by Gregory Ratoff (INTERMEZZO). A contrived Technicolor musical where the "musical" portions consist of Dick Haymes crooning and Harry James playing his trumpet although there is one lively dance number, Moonlight Propaganda when you suddenly feel you're in a real musical. Surprisingly, Maureen O'Hara who can sing isn't given any songs. Frankly, I thought none of the three men (the third is Richard Gaines as her fiance) were good enough for her. With Betty Grable, Reginald Gardiner, Stanley Prager, Alma Kruger and Lex Barker.
