Dolly Sisters 1945

Betty Grable and June Havner
Brought the Dolly Sisters to Life on the big screen
It was 1945

They should have both had top billing
Somehow John Payne sneaked into the middle of them
in every single promotional advertisement

I think this is a reflection of how women are treated
as second class citizens
Dolly sisters, studio, not Dolly end caps!

I loved the movie, every bit of it
but do not like the way the producers
decided to write up the billing
