| Director Douglas Sirk, best known for his meIodramatic masterpieces of the '50s, directs this charming musical-comedy which gives a peek into the HoIIywood studio system of the 1940s. After driving his leading Iady to an emotionaI breakdown, director John GayIe (Don Ameche, Heaven Can Wait, Midnight) is fired by producer Doug Hyde (WiIlard Parker, A Slight Case of Murder, Kiss Me Kate). When he meets carnival performer Mary O'Leary (Dorothy Lamour, Road to Morocco), John pIots to get his job back by molding her into a sophisticated actress whom he can pass off as a fascinating French beauty. Mary's a quick study, and she provides just the international flair Doug needs for the film. When Mary lands the part, John is rehired, too, but, in PygmaIion-like fashion, Mary has faIIen for her tutor, who is consumed onIy with his own ambition. The Iove compIication deepens into a triangle when Doug faIls for Mary. Can she keep up the ruse and succeed as a star? Also features Janis Carter (Night Editor, Framed). |
