Betty Grable and June Haver star as identical twins in the musical biographical film “The Dolly Sisters.” The story follows the two as young girls when they immigrate to America from Hungary in 1904 with their uncle. Immediately they start singing and dancing on the vaudeville stage and the rest, as they say, is history. The Dolly Sisters became famous entertainers all across America and Europe in the early twentieth century.
Co-stars along with Betty Grable and June Haver includes John Payne as Grable’s love interest and S. Z. Sakall as their uncle, as well as Reginald Gardiner, Gene Sheldon, Sig Ruman, Trudy Marshall, Frank Latimore, and Virginia Brissac. Director Irving Cummings (“Down Argentine Way” 1940) put together this watchable musical biopic, filmed in Technicolor, and successful at the box office for producer George Jessel and 20th Century Fox.
