Do You Love Me is a 1946 Technicolor musical film directed by Gregory Ratoff, starring Maureen O'Hara and Dick Haymes.^[2]^[3]

Harry James's tendency toward womanizing is treated as a great gag, culminating, at the very end of the movie, in a surprise cameo by a very special guest: Betty Grable, to whom James was married at the time.

Plot summary
