Starring June Haver in the Miller role, the film also includes Broadway's leading dancing star, Ray Bolger, who portrays Jack Donohue, Marilyn's dancing partner in "Sunny" and another of the greatest musical comedy stars of the period 20 to 25 years ago.

Then show business on Broadway boasted of names like Fred As- taire, Eddie Cantor, W.C. Fields. Huby Keeler and Al Jolson, Gor- don MacRae, screen and radio singing star, plays Frank Carter, Miss Miller's first husband.
