Many thanks to James for sending me a copy of this movie.
This movie is pretty good .and Leo Gorcey,Ray MacDonald and Dan Dailey were all great..but I only have two critiques about”Down In San Diego”(1941)-is that Dan Dailey shouldn’t have died at the end .he should’ve not just aurvived-but he should’ve come out the Hero by beating up all the criminals who’d blackmailed him into going back to a life of crime..and since both Dan Dailey and Ray MacDonald were both excellent tapdancers-and had both been featured Hoofers in the 1937 Rogers and Hart Broadway musical”Babes In Arms”-and since they both played brothers in”Down In San Diego”:I really think they both should’ve tapdancer together in this movie-and just made it a 1941 musical with a “crime Comedy”element instead. That is my input!!
