From Turner Classic Movies...Betty Grable often said that her personal favorite of all her films was Mother Wore Tights (1947), a nostalgic musical based on the true story of a married vaudeville team of the early 1900s, Frank and Myrtle Burt. Made at the peak of Grable's popularity and the happiest period of her private life, it was her most popular film, and the one that best showcases her talent and her sunny personality.
