Trivia
As part of the finale, Betty Grable leads a WAC (Women's Army Corps) drill team in some intricate maneuvers. It was decided to use a real WAC drill team, rather than actresses for this sequence since they were already familiar with the routines.

Goofs
When the female soldiers march up the stairs, Laura stands at the bottom and barks out a command. However, no audio of her voice is heard although her mouth is moving.

fluff and nonsense

Not bad, not good for a Betty Grable flick. Story, like all the Fox musicals on the 40's is silly, but sometimes silly can be charming. PIN-UP GIRL focuses on Betty of course and those "million" dollar legs. The story of a want-to-be showgirl who is doing steno work could have somehow worked better with more fluid writing. A couple of good dance numbers, but nothing spectacular. Nice to see old timers Martha Raye and Joe E. Brown, but Martha plays a real witch in this one and takes the shine off her comedic talent. Too bad. Story itself does not focus and what happened to her girl friend, Dorthea Kent, who is in the first part of the movie, then is dropped like a hot potato. Her presence was missed as she was a good side kick to Betty. If you're a Betty Grable fan, and you must be to be reading about this movie, there are others a lot better. Too bad they're not available on DVD. By the way, the DVD transfer is quite nice.
