Ladies, if you do not want to be an ugly duckling anymore , take their advice:have a car crash ,and provided you have a skillful plastic surgeon and a good friend to pay the bill,lo and behold , you become a beauty queen.
This implausible melodrama (but aren't melodramas implausible by definition) is edifying :"essential is invisible to the eye ",as Saint -Exupery wrote in "le petit prince" ,and why do you search for happiness far away when you are already in the right place to find it?; the movie is half flashback half return to the present .
Best scene : Ellen Raines learns she is fired as a glamour blonde is watching her , getting much fun from watching her plain rival be put down .
No humiliation was spared to poor Phyllis ,but every dog has his day,they say.....
