Anecdotes
Dan Dailey's Best Actor Oscar nomination marked a career high-point, though his portrayal of 'Skid' Johnson never stood a chance opposite Laurence Olivier's loftier central performance in the same year's Hamlet (1948). This illustrates the sometimes ludicrous range of nominations in the acting categories during Hollywood's golden era, the result of a far wider spectrum of genres represented. A similar disparity had emerged three years earlier when Gene Kelly's lighthearted performance in the musical Anchors Aweigh (1945) was improbably pitted against Ray Milland's histrionic performance as a desperate alcoholic in The Lost Weekend (1945).

Solid Grable Vehicle

Dan Dailey is a hoofer who goes from burlesque houses to Broadway, leaving wife Betty Grable behind. When she catches up with him, he's developed a drinking problem.

It's the third big-screen version of Hopkins-Watter play Burlesque, and it's given the Technicolor gloss that the company gave to all of Miss Grable's musicals in the period. The musical numbers are baggy-pants affairs. It's directed by Walter Lang, Fox's specialist for musical dramas, but since it's a vehicle for Miss Grable, everything is sunny.

Dailey was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor. For some reason, he lost to Laurence Olivier's performance in a little number called HAMLET.
