Cast includes Walter Abel, Katharine Alexander, Lucille Ball, Ralph Bellamy, Edward Brophy, Mary Carlisle, Virginia Field, Louis Hayward, Harold Huber, Maureen O'Hara, and Maria Ouspenskaya. Director Dorothy Arzner infuses this show business tale with feminist sensibilities as Judy O'Brien (played by Maureen O'Hara) hopes to become a ballerina but feels inadequate, while Bubbles (played by Lucille Ball) bets on her beauty and cunning to succeed in their burlesque show. They vie for attention from Jimmy, who still loves his ex-wife, and from the men who watch them perform.
