Starring Betty Grable, George Montgomery, Cesar Romero

At the turn of the century, Eddie Johnson and Joe Rocco are rivals in Coney Island showbusiness and for the affections of Kate Farley, the island's most successful singer.

Betty Grable, who died last year, was at the height of her popularity as the Forces' favourite pin-up when she made this romantic period musical set against the background of New York's pleasure island. Her 'million-dollar legs' graced a succession of box-office hits during the darkest days of World War II.

Reporters: Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, John Pitman, Jack Pizzey, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

This week: Born to Fail?

John Wise, Manchester signalman, has had a lifetime of dull, boring jobs. At school his abilities largely escaped notice and he was written off when he failed the 11-plus. Now, 31 years later, he has proved he deserved a better chance - he's won a place at university.

Jimmy May left school just two years ago. He wanted to be an artist and some of his drawings were published in a book about London's East End. But he's ended up in a butcher's shop and he hates every minute.

They say that everyone, these days, has the chance to get ahead. But the Jimmy Mays of the world still fear they are born to fail.
