Although she did not receive top billing, Marjorie Weaver is the superstar of this movie. Near the beginning of the movie, a group of people are at a fancy nightclub in Miami, (Remember, this is before the collapse of most big cities.) They are a little annoyed because Tyrone Power is running late, he does show up, and with him is his new date, Marjorie Weaver!
All the other women at the table are dressed in fancy evening gowns, Marjorie however has on a simple, but nice dress. Introductions are made and it becomes clear than Marjorie is NOT in their class. Marjorie only has a high school education and speaks with an adorable Kentucky accent. (She was actually born in Kentucky and that's how she really talks.) What's unique about her in this setting is not only is she much prettier than the "big" stars, but her homespun, unpretentious, honest attitude makes all of the men desirous of her, and the women turn green with jealousy.
Marjorie, (Joy) openly admits that she thought that she would never get to go to "such a nice place" and see so many nice people. Not too different from the real Marjorie Weaver. Tyrone drives Marjorie home, during the drive Tyrone stops the car and says "I'm not married, and I'm not getting fresh, but may I kiss you?" Marjorie replies enthusiastically, Yes! After the kiss she asked why did you want to kiss me? Tyrone replies "I just wanted to kiss ONE honest woman."
The rest of the movie is entertaining as well. I just wanted to describe my favorite scene. One of my favorite movies with Marjorie Weaver is "I'll give a million".
