    Likable, easy-to-take, minor musical

    Musicals about songwriters were de rigeur in the 50's, and this one fits in the center of the mold. But, it's fun, light, bouncy, easy to take, and Steve Allen has a lot of fun as a disc jockey, and Dennis Day and Gloria De Haven are marvelous in their scene together. A good film to watch when you need an unpretentious escape.

    Finally, it's available free at YouTube!!

    The last review here was written in 2011, 11 years ago! That reflects my previous frustration in finding a source for this decent colorful musical. If you like '40s/'50s 'minor' musicals, you now lack an excuse not to view it.

    It features June Haver and Gloria DeHaven, 2 Fox B musical leads, who play musical sisters, performing together, or singly, or with Irish tenor Dennis Day. Harry James' orchestra is also present for some numbers. Lots of familiar favorites are featured, instead of hit or miss new songs. There's a young Steve Allen, as a disc jockey, and perennial favorite Thelma Ritter. Triple threat Dan Dailey makes a cameo appearance at the end, exhibiting some singing and dancing. My main gripe is that Dan should have taken the place of bland William Lundigan, hopefully providing more humor and some additional Dan-styled dancing.

    Pretty much the typical formula but with some very nice songs.

    "I'll Get By" is a remake of "Tin Pan Alley" (1940) and is the musical story of an up and coming music company. Along the way, Bill Spencer (William Lundigan) falls for Liza (June Haver) but the pair end up breaking up for the stupidest reason I've seen in a movie in a long time. Of course, you know that by the fall of the curtain, they'll be back together and all will be well.

    The film has great music. Instead of writing songs for the movie, it uses a lot of familiar standards and if you like older music, you'll likely love this music. On the negative side, however, it IS a remake and the breakup of Bill and Liza seems VERY contrived and even ridiculous. Overall, the good does outweigh the bad and the movie is a nice time-passer.

    More than 'gets by'

    Amazing how long it took for me to see this spirited 'B' Technicolor Fox musical on broadcast TV, having seen most of the other 'A' and 'B' Fox musicals of the '40s and early '50s. Essentially, a combo remake of the B&W 'Tin Pan Alley' and the Technicolor 'The Dolly Sisters', the latter being a semi-remake of the former, with 2 of the original 4 stars. Whereas 'Tin Pan Alley'is set just before and during the US involvement in WWI, the present film has a similar relationship with WWII. Both films turn into flag-wavers toward the end, as the male stars are drafted into the army, and the female stars conveniently go overseas to entertain the troops. In the present film, 'B' singer-dancers June Haver and Gloria DeHaven get a chance to shine without the dominance of 'A' stars, such as Betty Grable, Alice Faye, and Carmen Miranda. I thought they made a great pair of performers, whether performing singly, together, or with Dennis Day. In contrast to the legally blond Dolly sisters, the present sisters sported contrasting blond and brunette hair, foreshadowing the Marylin Monroe-Jane Russell team in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blonds', a few years later. The up and coming June Haver costarred with Betty Grable in 'The Dolly Sisters': a replacement for the retiring Alice Faye, who costarred with Grable in 'Tin Pan Alley'. In the present film, the sisters are much more of a sister act than in 'Tin Pan Alley', where Faye and Grable mostly did their own numbers. In this respect, it more resembles 'The Dolly Sisters', which was also filmed in Technicolor. However, the latter film mostly featured gaudy turn of the century costumes, whereas wardrobes in the present film were mostly kept relatively simple.

    Bland William Lundigan, along with Dennis Day, replaced John Payne and Jack Oakie, respectively, as composer-lyricists. Like Oakie, Day contributes several songs, alone or with one or two of 'the girls'. Some like his distinctive Irish tenor voice, others do not. Very different from Oakie's vaudevillian style. Unlike the previous films, this one featured a variety of additional stars in minor roles or cameo, perhaps most notably Harry James(Betty Grable's husband), motherly Thelma Ritter, a young Steve Allen as a disc jockey, and vaudevillian-styled, tall and lanky, Dan Dailey in a surprise song and dance with 'the girls', near the ending. The latter was a toned-down counterpart to the memorable 'Sheik of Araby' song and dance number in 'Tin Pan Alley', which had rotund Billy Gilbert(as the sheik) performing with 'the girls'.

    Dailey reportedly was perhaps Grable's favorite male costar, although

    not having quite the looks of a matinée idol. Both this film and 'The Dolly Sisters' sorely missed the comedic and all around vaudevillian talents of Jack Oakie, as in 'Tin Pan Alley', as a counterweight to the melodramatic scenes. Even Clark Gable reportedly was hesitant to do a film with the scene-stealing Oakie. If Dailey had taken Lundigan's place in the present film and been allowed to participate in more song and dance routines, this would have largely compensated for the absence of Oakie. Thankfully, the present film was lighter on heavy romantic melodrama than the previous two, where this got tedious at times.

    Haver, was kept under contract with Fox as a possible replacement for the older Betty Grable, while sometimes starring in her own 'B' films. She seemed to lack something exciting in Grable's personality and looks that appealed to audiences, and never became a big star, although quite beautiful and talented. She should not be confused with June Havoc, sister of Gypsy Rose Lee, who was a supporting actress in the very popular Fox musical 'Hello, Frisco, Hello', among other Fox films of the same era. Gloria DeHaven basically followed a similar path,although I found her quite appealing in this and other films.

    The list of songs sung or danced to includes: "There Will Never Be Another You", "It's Been a Long,Long, Time","I'll Get By", "Deep in the Heart of Texas","I've Got the World on a String", "Taking a Chance on Love", "You Make Me Feel So Young", "MacNamara's Band", and "America, I Love You": the latter being the only tune sung in both 'Tin Pan Alley' and the present film, symbolizing the flag-waving orientation of the films.

    It Does More Than Just Get By

    Plenty of talent in this one with June Haver, Gloria De Haven, Harry James and Dennis Day. William Lundigan puts in a great performance. Not that this story is much different than other musicals. There's the usual dilemma of marrying a starving artist or hitching up with someone wealthy. It's great fun. And the good songs keep coming. The title song is utilized better here than in the darker Star Is Born. I just like to hear Day sing. And James is put to good use right away. It's great we can enjoy these songs in a movie with a wholesome story. And Thelma Ritter provides good comic relief. Lundigan is a loveable operator.

      Peter Pepper: [Announcing live on the air] Sorry to interrupt that pretty thing, folks, but, uh, here's your second treat tonight -- a brand new recording right off the grizzle. I've just received it from the Fight Company. But first, a word from our sponsor. Friends, when you cross the street against the red light, do you get that run down feeling? When you lose your grocery list, do your laundry list, do you feel listless? And do you wake up with that morning-after-the- night-before feeling wishing you were dead and hoping for a nice, quiet breakfast? Then eat Shoggies. They don't crackle, they don't crunch, they just sit in the bottom of the bowl and sop up the milk. And now a brand new song that's red hot. This is the year when novelty numbers have been all the rage and my spies tell me this pre-release will top their long list of successes which have gone out to you from the platter parade. It's all about a choo choo train from Chattanooga. But why spoil it for you? Here it is. Listen.
