Subsequently, he appeared in a string of notable films, including "My Wild Irish Rose" (1947),"God Is My Co-Pilot" (1945),and "The Very Thought of You" (1944).
Morgan's on-screen partnership with his close friend Jack Carson yielded several memorable collaborations, such as "Two Guys from Milwaukee" (1946),"Two Guys from Texas" (1948),and "It's a Great Feeling" (1949).
