My Gal Sal (1942) watch online

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 (Dreiser was the original German family name). 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.

In the film, Dresser runs away from his Indiana home and, following a brief stopover with a medicine show, arrives in the Gay Nineties era of New York City. After meeting fictional musical star Sally Elliott, he composes the title tune for her and becomes the toast of Tin Pan Alley.
