Review of The Harvey Girls (1946) by Pauline Kael for The New Yorker — 23 Jul 1964
A likeable but aimless musical which doesn't know what to make of its plot (designed to cash in on the pioneer spirit of Oklahoma) about the Harvey House restaurants which followed the railroad into the West, bringing demure waitresses into the domain of rowdy saloon girls.
