Joseph Cotten, Macdonald Carey, and Teresa Wright in Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

from Appendix B of Tap! The greatest tap dance stars and their stories, 1900-1955 by Rusty Frank, published 1990

"From  the  1920s-1950s,  there  were very  few musical films  made  that did  not  have  tap dancing  in  some form.  This  appendix  concentrates  on "featured" tap  dancers - solo, and groups.  There  are  some  entries  listed here  that  have  not  been viewed  since  their original  release.  In  these  cases it  is  assumed that  the  tap  dancer  did  perlorm a tap  number in  the  film."
