She stole My Heart... But She's still Tops with me in the Season's Top Musical Hit...!"; other studios had been making all-star musical comedies to raise morale during World War II, and United Artists wanted to do its part, but in order to have a credible lineup, they had to "cheap" a little and use some stars from other studios, and also use some not quite "first rank" stars like Regis Toomey; sorry, Regis!) starring Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, Bonita Granville, W.C. Fields, Peggy O'Neill, Jackie Moran, Bill Christy, Reginald Denny, Regis Toomey, Rose Hobart, Pat Starling, Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra, and Jane Powell (billed as "Introducing Jane Powell"; she was only 14 years-old at the time; she had been singing coloratura soprano on the radio, and was given a chance to be in this movie; I bet no one would have guessed she would go on to be a major musical star of the 1950s!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: The still was printed slightly off center, which causes the image to be at a slight angle and the very bottom right of the credits to be slightly cut off. This was a somewhat common printing defect in vintage stills, and most collectors do not consider it a major defect if it is only slightly off center as it is in this case. Condition: good to very good. The still was printed slightly off register and there is darkening around the edges. Otherwise, it is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
