Daniel Dare ... dances stager (as Danny Dare)
Per IMDb, this wasn't released in the US until late Feb '46.
The middle film in the series (3 before & 3 after); probably my favorite, certainly the one I remember the most. I even remembered the name McGurk was coming. (I really think I have a thing for snow-covered comedies.) This is the one where Hope gets the girl.

- ch2. Sunday, Monday or Always, Played on a radio and sung by Bing Crosby, off-screen preceding BC's entrance.

Nice songs, good comedy; what's not to like?
