    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This was made at the point in Lana Turner's career when she was still being groomed for stardom by M-G-M, and they hadn't yet finalized her "look." In this film (and all of her preceding ones) Turner appeared as a "dish water blonde," but two films later, for Ziegfeld Girl, the studio hairdressing department lightened her hair to platinum blonde, similar to the look of one of their biggest stars of the 1930s, Jean Harlow - and suddenly, Turner rose to stardom.
