Business involves the Donahues, a family that got its start in vaudeville and continues to perform. There’s mom and pop, played by Ethel Merman and Dan Dailey, their two sons, Donald O’Connor and Johnnie Ray, and their daughter, Mitzi Gaynor. Ma and pa used to perform and take the kids along with them, eventually they settled down long enough to send their kids to school. Once the kids are all grown-up they join” read more
