Lana Turner, Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Robert Taylor and William Powell all have cameos in this fun-loving comedy about teenage girls who cause mayhem while seeking autographs.

Beloved actress Lucille Ball plays herself in this lively musical comedy, based on the Broadway play and featuring the music of popular bandleader Harry James. When young military cadet Bud Hooper (Tommy Dix) invites Ball to be his date at the academy's prom, her agent convinces her that accepting would be a great publicity stunt. Soon Ball's presence at the school leads to chaos, and the redheaded celebrity unwittingly incurs the wrath of Bud's girlfriend, Helen (Virginia Weidler).

A remake of Robert Montgomery's 1934 hit Hide-Out, this superb film directed by Robert B. Sinclair (known for his classic Broadway productions of The Philadelphia Story, Dodsworth and Pride and Prejudice) creates a mesmerizing dance between innocence and a life gone wrong. When a gangster's frontman (Sterling) is wounded by police, he escapes to a farm where he's taken in by a kindhearted family. Lying about his identity and hiding out from the law, he soon finds himself in love with the oldest daughter (Marsha Hunt) and even becomes close friends with her younger sister (Virginia Weidler). It's not until the detectives on his trail finally catch up to him that he undergoes a powerful life-transforming shift. This unusual Hollywood love story mixed with a gangster-themed police caper revealed undeniable chemistry between the two leads, Sterling and Hunt, who were again teamed in a 1941 film, The Penalty.
