Wabash Avenue is a 1950 American musical film directed by Henry Koster and starring Betty Grable.
The owner of the dance hall Mike (Phil Harris) has cheated his ex-partner Andy Clark (Victor Mature) out of a half interest in the business.
Andy schemes to potentially ruin Mike and also hopes to make Ruby a classy entertainer, as well as his own girl.
Negotiations dissolved but exhibitors had been promised that title so 20th Century Fox hastily substituted a rewrite of its 1943 Coney Island.
[7][8] Grable enjoyed working with director Henry Koster so much she insisted he direct her next film, My Blue Heaven.
