A loose remake of The Good Fairy (the 1935 film - starring Margaret Sullivan and Frank Morgan - was written by Preston Sturges, who is credited in this film), Deanna plays a sweet girl from a small town who moves to the big city, where she lands a job as an usherette in a big movie palace. Among her new city friends are hopeless romantic lawyer (Tom Drake) and restaurant guru William Bendix. In a funny scene, socially-awkward Deanna crashes a big party and poses as a Mexican gal, stumbling around, chomping on celery and botching Spanish. By accident, she manages to sing a beautiful rendition of "Grenada", and naturally, impresses everyone, including the organizer of the party, wealthy corporate exec. Adolphe Menjou, who offers her a job in a musical show. But before she achieves success (or romance), the main characters all get mixed up in several crazy screwball situations. In a cameo, Franklin Pangborn plays a barber who reluctantly shaves off Tom Drake's beard. Read an analysis of the film by Java.
