Watched online; dark blurry print.

In the Tap! Appendix for Jivin' Jacks and Jills, Donald O'Connor, Peggy Ryan. I'm reasonably certain DO did not dance; there was only 1 scene where the JJ&J danced, and PR had a big solo with singing, and DO arrived at the joint after they were done. At the prom he does a little social dancing, no showboating.

Gloria Jean sings plenty, Tommy Rall was one of the JJ&J, but I'm taking this off my wishlist.
