Various sources mention that Virginia Mayo (below) was in the film but uncredited. She was among the 'Goldwyn Girls' and she is clearly visible in medium close-up in at least one shot in the scene of the troop carrier's departure. Dinah Shore was indeed the star and Constance Dowling next female in line. Danny was smitten with Constance who preferred the young Dana Andrews. Dinah was smitten with Danny. So the Italian distributor of the DVD no doubt imagining riches beyond parallel decided that nobody had heard of Dinah Shore but everybody knows Virginia Mayo so substituted the one for the other on the very slim basis of the single medium close-up. And yes the Betty Grable poses come from another movie as well, Eddie.<br />Free subscriptions all round and equal #1 cinephile for the next week. Cheers folks.<br />Image may contain: 1 person , closeup<br />Film Alert 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/09861654699422485650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242690213881108403.post-3380775531966280872016-08-08T19:09:55.817-07:002016-08-08T19:09:55.817-07:00Yup, that's it.
