Anecdotes
Victor Mature was known within the movie community for having a sense of humor about his lack of acting, singing and dancing talents and supposedly once responded to being denied membership in a high-class social club for being an actor, by declaring: "I'm not an actor...and I've made 37 movies that prove it!"

Gaffes
When Dresser introduces "The Pity Of It All," he hands the lyrics to Sally, but she sings them without looking at the sheet.

Crédits fous
Rare for the era, the film cold-opens with a brief medley of performers singing bits of Dresser songs before dissolving into the main titles.

Routine Musical Ennobled by Hayworth, Mature & Fox's Shimmering Technicolor!

The plot is silly & preposterous, as is the case most often when it comes to these eye candy extravaganzas, but it is kept alive by the irrepressible charm of Rita Hayworth & Victor Mature, not to mention Fox's customary glowing Technicolor (there are some moments that are not only gorgeous to look at, but also sublimely awe-inspiring and evocative of its Gay 90s milieu).

"My Gal Sal" is basically a nostalgic period musical, about 1890s songwriter Paul Dreiser (Mature) who leaves his country town in Indiana to find a big success on Broadway in New York. He meets and falls in love with a musical performer, a gal named Sally Elliott (Hayworth). They start hating each other at first but soon grow into one another. Their contrived romance is kept afloat by various passable numbers, including the title tune (written by Paul), "On the Big White Way," "The Convict and the Bird", "Liza Jane", and "Mr Volunteer".

Not a classic, but it passes the time. Try to watch it along with Hayworth's other musical of 1942, the gloriously carefree "You Were Never Lovelier" with Fred Astaire.
