St. Louis Blues is a 1939 American musical film directed by Raoul Walsh that was set on a Mississippi River showboat.

The film starred Dorothy Lamour, Lloyd Nolan, Tito Guízar, Jerome Cowan and Mary Parker.

Lamour sang "I Go for That"[1] by Matt Malneck, Jr., and Frank Loesser[2] in the film, and had a hit recording with it.
