Buy from Amazon For Me and My Gal is a good many things — an ode to vaudeville, with some excellent song and dance routines, a “boy meets girl” movie, the film debut of Gene Kelly, a patriotic movie — and a very good movie overall. Frankly, what’s most refreshing about  For Me and My Gal is that the protagonist is a flawed person.  His flaws lead to his problems, and whose overcoming them leads to character growth.
