Meet Me After the Show is a 1951 Technicolor musical film directed by Richard Sale and starring Betty Grable and Macdonald Carey.
Delilah Lee is groomed by her husband Jeff Ames for his new Broadway show. She becomes such a success that she feels that Jeff considers her more an asset than a wife. When the show's backer Gloria Carstairs makes advances toward Jeff, Delilah leaves him, but she later experiences regret and resolves to regain his love. She devises a scheme involving amnesia to lure Jeff back to her.
