Editing The Andrews Sisters (section)

== Filmography ==
Patty, Maxene, and LaVerne appeared in 17 Hollywood films. Their first picture, ''[[Argentine Nights]]'', paired them with another enthusiastic trio, the [[Ritz Brothers]].<ref>[https://www.proquest.com/docview/165092700 Los Angeles Times article] [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] May 15, 1940.</ref> [[Universal Pictures]], always budget-conscious, refused to hire a choreographer, so the Ritzes taught the sisters some eccentric steps. Thus, in ''Argentine Nights'' and the sisters' next film, ''[[Buck Privates]]'', the Andrews Sisters dance like the Ritz Brothers.{{citation needed|date = February 2013}}

''[[Buck Privates]]'', with [[Abbott and Costello]], featured the Andrews Sisters' best-known song, "[[Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy]]."<ref>"Songs That Won The War Vol. 4 The Home Front" CD program notes by Edward Habib</ref> This [[Don Raye]]-[[Hughie Prince]] composition was nominated for [[Academy Award for Best Original Song|Best Song]] at the 1941 [[Academy Awards]] ceremony.<ref name=Oscar>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1942/G|title=The 14th Academy Awards &#124; 1942|website=Oscars.org}}</ref>

[[Universal Pictures|Universal]] hired the sisters for two more Abbott and Costello comedies and then promoted them to full-fledged stardom in B musicals. ''[[What's Cookin'?]]'', ''[[Private Buckaroo]]'', ''[[Give Out, Sisters]]'' (in which they disguise themselves as old women as part of the zany plot) and [[Moonlight and Cactus (1944 film)|''Moonlight and Cactus'']] were among the team's popular full-length films.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O6kfBgAAQBAJ&q=universal+the+andrews+sisters++what's+cookin'+private+buckaroo+and+give+out+sisters&pg=PA231|title=City of Dreams: The Making and Remaking of Universal Pictures|first=Bernard F.|last=Dick|date=January 13, 2015|publisher=University Press of Kentucky|access-date=May 2, 2018|via=Google Books|isbn=9780813158891}}</ref>

The Andrews Sisters sing the title song as the opening credits roll and also perform two specialty numbers in the all-star revue ''[[Hollywood Canteen (1944 film)|Hollywood Canteen]]'' (1944). They can be seen singing "You Don't Have to Know the Language" with [[Bing Crosby]] in Paramount's ''[[Road to Rio]]'' with [[Bob Hope]], that year's highest-grossing movie. Their singing voices are heard in two full-length [[Walt Disney]] features: "[[Make Mine Music]]",<ref>[https://www.proquest.com/docview/165677198 Los Angeles Times article] ([[Portable Document Format|PDF]]) Hedda Hopper.
