My Gal Sal

1942 · 103 min · dir. Irving Cummings

My Gal Sal is a 1942 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Rita Hayworth, Victor Mature, John Sutton, and Carole Landis. A biographical film of 1890s German-American songwriter Paul Dresser, it was based on a biographical essay, sometimes erroneously referred to as a book, by Dresser's younger brother, novelist Theodore Dreiser. Some of the songs portrayed as Dresser's work were actually written by him, but several others were created in the 1890s style for the film by the Hollywood songwriting team of Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin.
