I really don't think she's Charles Laughton's type!

Kim Walker (Deanna Durbin) wants to be a stage actress in the worst possible way. So, Kim decides that no matter how much hard work other actresses go through to get to Broadway, she'll take a shortcut. Her shortcut involves lying her head off...again and again and again. She has everyone convinced that the great actor, John Sheridan (Charles Laughton), adores her and wants her to co-star with him in her next play. Then when he learns about her ruse, she and her friend concoct and even crazier scheme...for her to do a fake suicide attempt for publicity sake. What's she going to do next? Kidnap all the other actors?? Nope...she now decides to stalk the playwright!!I am sure this sort of script scares many actors to death...the pushy ingénue who forces her way to the top. Why? Because some not so well balanced acting wannabes might just decide to do the same...and expecting the same results! Believe me, there are many creepy stalkers out there chasing celebrities...and they DON'T need encouragement!!So, despite this, is the film worth seeing? Well, it does end very well. Overall, though, the message it presents is creepy and the film has one too many songs for Durbin. I really think the movie SHOULD contain the following statement before it's shown: "If you act like Deanna Durbin in real life the way she acts in this one, you'll likely be arrested or blackballed for life"!

Laughton is hilarious

I enjoyed the movie apart from Tone's character (he was annoying and super cheesy) the rest was great. Laughton is as always the best part about the picture.
