In '42nd Street' (1933) the leading lady of a Broadway show sprains her ankle before the first night and is replaced by a chorus girl (Ruby Keeler) at the last minute. 'Meet Me in St. Louis' (1944) follows the middle-class Smith family in the lead up to the 1904 World's Fair hosted in St Louis as second eldest daughter Esther (Garland) falls for new neighbour John Truitt (Tom Drake) and initially has difficulty winning his affections. In 'Easter Parade' (1948) Don Hewes (Fred Astaire) is one half of a dance team who is ditched by his partner. Deciding he can make a star out of anyone he wants, he chooses a lowly chorus girl (Garland) as a replacement. In 'Annie Get Your Gun' (1950) backwoods sharpshooter Annie Oakley (Betty Hutton) is plucked out of obscurity by Buffalo Bill (Louis Calhern) and groomed for a leading role in his world famous Wild West show.

In 'Calamity Jane' (1953) the titular character (Day) is a female sharpshooter who would rather hit targets than chase men - until she falls for 'Wild Bill' Hickok (Keel), who would rather shoot Indians than chase after a tomboy like Calamity. In 'By the Light of the Silvery Moon' (1953), the sequel to 'On Moonlight Bay', Day and MacRae reprise their roles as young couple Marjorie and Bill who haven't yet made it to the altar despite Bill's return from serving in the war. In 'The Band Wagon' (1953) a has-been star of movie musicals (Astaire) agrees to take part in a Broadway show, playing opposite a ballerina (Cyd Charisse).
