Meet Me After The Show: Review

starstarstarstar
The story is trite but the musical numbers are outstanding. Delilah (Betty Grable), a Broadway star, learns that husband-producer Jeff (Macdonald Carey) is fooling around with other women; she quits his show, pretends to lose her memory, and returns to Miami where she began her career years earlier. Taking her old name and doing her old act, Delilah proceeds to relive her early years while responding to the attentions of local lothario David Hemingway (Rory Calhoun). Jealous and believing he is about to lose his wife, Jeff professes his love for her and, equally important to Delilah, convinces her that he will never again stray from their marital bed. Typical of the vacuous musicals of this period and the type of corn popped by producer George Jessel, MEET ME AFTER THE SHOW has little substance to its tale, but the production numbers elevate it to above-average status. Jack Cole and Gwen Verdon's choreography is excellent, providing one show-stopping number after another. Song and dance numbers include: "It's a Hot Night in Alaska," "I Feel Like Dancing" (Grable and cochoreographer Gwen Verdon), "No Talent Joe," and "Bettin' on a Man" (Jule Styne, Leo Robin). leave a comment
