what good is a gal without a guy
Whitney Young (Esther Williams) is a runaway bride. On the other hand, Mary Kate Yarbrough (Joan Evans) got left at the altar. Una Yancy (Vivian Blaine) is a New York City gal pining for a man who is never there. He joins the Navy and she follows him. The three girls arrive at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and become roommates.
I don't know when the Navy allowed women to join. I doubt it's anything like this. What are they training to do in the Navy anyways? It's telling that all three women's origin stories center on the wedding dress. In this world, every women is desperate to find a man. "What Good Is a Gal? (Without a Guy?)" Sadly, that might be the best song in this musical. Most of the songs are forgettable. It's all very old style 50's. As with any Esther Williams musical, there is plenty of water works. It's nothing more than a do-wop old fashion musical.
