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.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The scene in which Susan Gallagher (Judy Garland) auditions for the Ziegfeld Follies is strikingly similar to Garland's own audition for MGM in 1935. Like her character, Garland came in with her father (Francis "Frank" Gumm) as her accompanist and was flopping until Roger Edens, like Slayton (Paul Kelly) in the film, took over the audition, coached her to sing more softly and subtly, and got her the MGM contract.

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 » |
