Paramount has made two movies called Million Dollar Legs, but what if Betty Grable did the same (one for Paramount in 1939, and one for 20th Century-Fox in 1943)? Before the credits and in the trailer, we are introduced to a closeup of Betty Grable’s character’s feet. We hear a swing instrumental in the style of Benny Goodman’s version of “Sing! Sing! Sing!”, which she wiggles her toes to. The camera goes up her legs as she flexes her calves, knees, and thighs.
