Saturday Cinema: Song of the Islands

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

starring Betty Grable, Victor Mature, Jack Oakie.

Betty Grable, pin-up queen of the forties, stars in this light-hearted blend of comedy, music, and romance. A slender plot about two Americans who land on a Pacific island, mistaking the delectable Miss Grable for one of the native girls, provides a framework to support some spectacular dance numbers staged by Hermes Pan.
