Region 2 Spanish import, plays in English without subtitles. The story begins in Indiana, where a young man named Paul Dresser (Victor Mature) decides to leave home. His father wants him to be a minister; he wants to be a composer. He leaves with the hope of fulfilling this dream. He gets into trouble and ends up covered in tar and feathers by a mob of townspeople. After this incident, he meets the beautiful Mae Collins (Carole Landis). She takes care of him and even gets him a job putting on a cheap game show in small towns. One day he goes to see a Broadway show on his way to star Sally Elliot (Rita Hayworth) and realizes his act isn't as big as he thought. He decides to go to New York to achieve his musical aspirations. SYNOPSIS Rita made My Gal Sal on Twentieth CenturyFox in early 1942. Her role was first intended for Alice Faye, then Betty Grable, but both actresses were unavailable. At that time, Rita was quickly becoming one of Hollywood's best musical comedy stars, so she was a bit of luck casting for Fox . Don Ameche was going to be his co-star in this Technicolor romp, but ultimately Victor Mature got the role. During filming they had a serious romance and became one of Tinsletowns most publicized couples. The press predicted wedding bells, but the romance ended after Victor joined the Coast Guard and Rita met Orson Welles in late 1942.
