Call Me Mister-The Musical is Back in Business **1/2
14 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Typical song and dance routine with an estranged Dan Dailey and Bette Grable in post-World War 11 occupied Japan. When he finds her there, he jumps his going home ship and pursues her to Osaka, where she is putting on a musical revue.

The singing and dancing are great. The tunes Love is Back in Business, Going Home and Japanese Women Love Men too much are marvelously staged. Along the way, Dailey gets competition for Grable from PFC Danny Thomas, with those bulging eyes and great routine timing, and Dale Robertson,a Commanding Officer who basically has little to do.

The film is basically very short on plot but long on dancing, singing and just enjoying yourself.
