[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 371448, member: 7"] Dan Dailey was one of her more frequent costars in the post-WW2 years. They made four films together: MOTHER WORE TIGHTS (1947) -- her biggest box office hit up till that point, which was not so long ago released by Twilight Time on Blu-ray. Grable often singled this movie out as a favorite of hers. WHEN MY BABY SMILES AT ME (1948) -- released at the time Grable had crawled back to #2 in box office popularity. MY BLUE HEAVEN (1950) -- Grable was again #2 at the box office, and this movie marks the screen debut of Mitzi Gaynor. CALL ME MISTER (1951) -- a musical remake of the 1941 film A YANK IN THE R.A.F., starring Grable and Tyrone Power. Per legend, Grable was to have Ethel Merman's role in THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS in 1954, which would've reunited her with Dailey for a fifth time. She walked, and thus Merman was cast. Grable also declined THE GIRL NEXT DOOR (1953), which would've also co-starred Dailey. She wanted a vacation instead of the movie, which ended up being June Haver's final film before her retirement from the screen. [/QUOTE]
