During the 1940s the Andrews Sisters were at the peak of their career. Not only did the three singing sisters from Minnesota record a vast number of popular tunes, they were also signed by Universal and made their first motion picture appearance at the beginning of the decade. At first, the studio placed Laverne, Maxene & Patty on screen with the Ritz Brothers. Then, they were added to Abbott & Costello’s movies, usually featured in specialty numbers. But the trio were such a success that the studio wasted no time spinning them off into their own series of modestly budgeted musical comedies. The girls were known for their precise harmonies and syncopated dance moves, which were in evidence in all their films. When they weren’t on the big screen, they did a weekly radio program and made personal appearances across the country. They also found time to tour overseas, helping Bob Hope and others to entertain the troops.
