"My Gal Sal" is basically a nostalgic period musical, about 1890s songwriter Paul Dreiser (Mature) who leaves his country town in Indiana to find a big success on Broadway in New York. He meets and falls in love with a musical performer, a gal named Sally Elliott (Hayworth). They start hating each other at first but soon grow into one another. Their contrived romance is kept afloat by various passable numbers, including the title tune (written by Paul), "On the Big White Way," "The Convict and the Bird", "Liza Jane", and "Mr Volunteer".
Not a classic, but it passes the time. Try to watch it along with Hayworth's other musical of 1942, the gloriously carefree "You Were Never Lovelier" with Fred Astaire.

- CuriosidadesVictor Mature was known within the movie community for having a sense of humor about his lack of acting, singing and dancing talents and supposedly once responded to being denied membership in a high-class social club for being an actor, by declaring: "I'm not an actor...and I've made 37 movies that prove it!"
- PifiasWhen Dresser introduces "The Pity Of It All," he hands the lyrics to Sally, but she sings them without looking at the sheet.
- Citas
Paul Dresser: Look. If you don't like my act, why don't you get out of here.
Fred Haviland: Like it? Why, you're the hit of the show.
Sally Elliott: It's one of the funniest acts I ever saw.
Paul Dresser: Funny? What's funny about it?
Sally Elliott: Wasn't it?
Paul Dresser: You know very well it wasn't, nobody else was laughing.
Sally Elliott: But there was two pianos. And that suit. What could you expect?
Paul Dresser: What's wrong with my suit?
Sally Elliott: It's all right if you can stand the noise.
- Créditos adicionalesRare for the era, the film cold-opens with a brief medley of performers singing bits of Dresser songs before dissolving into the main titles.
