Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Discovery by Flo Ziegfeld changes a girl's life but not necessarily for the better, as three beautiful women find out when they join the spectacle on Broadway: Susan, the singer who must leave behind her ageing vaudevillian father; vulnerable Sheila, the working girl pursued both by a millionaire and by her loyal boyfriend from Flatbush; and the mysterious European beauty Sandra, whose concert violinist husband cannot endure the thought of their escaping from poverty by promenading her glamor in skimpy costumes.

Jimmy Walters:
Soon as I saw you, I said to myself, that's a hot lookin' little number. Sheila 'Red': Don't let it throw ya champ. I'm 20 degrees cooler than you think. Jimmy Walters: Ah, one of them refrigerated dames, huh? Sheila 'Red': That's right. You're not the guy to defrost me either. See more » |
