Catherine Terris (Virginia Mayo) is an actress whose films have recently been bombs. So her agent convinces her to return to Broadway where she had her first successes and then, if this goes well, she can return to Hollywood. But she didn't count on having her old lover, Rick (Steve Cochran), directing the show....and they both have a lot of baggage from this old romance. Not surprisingly, Rick ends up resenting the heck out of her...and he treats her like dirt. Soon the two can't stand each other and the show might not be a go after all.
While Virginia Mayo is known most for playing molls and various light parts for Warner Brothers, here she gets to sing and dance...and while she's not the greatest actress in these roles, she's quite good. It's nice to see a different side of this actress...even if I don't adore song and dance numbers. Plus the film simply had too many of these numbers...as if we are getting to see almost the entire Broadway show. Had they cut a bit of this, it would have made the film a bit more interesting. Still, the film fits the bill if you're looking for a pleasant time-passer.
