Background

My Blue Heaven was the third film that Grable and Dailey made together, the first two being Mother Wore Tights in 1947 and When My Baby Smiles at Me in 1948. They later co-starred in a fourth, Call Me Mister (1951).

My Blue Heaven marked the film debut of musical star Mitzi Gaynor.

My Blue Heaven was presented on Lux Radio Theatre on 25 February 1952. The one-hour adaptation featured Grable and Dailey in their roles from the film.[5]
