FOR ME AND MY GAL chronicles the love and struggles of vaudeville team Harry Palmer (Gene Kelly) and Jo Hayden (Judy Garland) as they pursue their big dream of playing New York's prestigious Palace Theater. Just as that dream is about to finally come true, World War I breaks out and Harry is called into service. When he maims himself to avoid the draft, Jo can't forgive his cowardice, and Harry must search his soul for a way to redeem himself in the eyes of his country, and the woman who taught him to love it.

While Kelly made a career out of For Me and My Gal and his partnership with Garland and spent the next 50 years just varying his creation from there, this film only gave Martha the opportunity to play a second similarly unremarkable role in another Garland-branded film, Presenting Lily Mars. In this film, Mártha is a Paris Opera diva on a world tour, and her encounter with Kelly forms the main catharsis of the Kelly/Garland relationship. She gets the opportunity to sing a charming aria and in her second scene at least bat away Garland. Anyone who feels I'm doing an injustice to For Me and My Gal should wake up to the closing AMERICA NEEDS YOUR MONEY BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS AT THIS THEATER.
