Watchlist:
Teenage orphan Jenny Yates becomes starstruck when a revival of an old Victorian melodrama passes through her small New England town, to the disapproval of her stern grandfather, Uriah. Stowing away in the car of Philip Greene, a wealthy young man working with the theater troupe, Jenny talks her way into the play's lead role. But director Archie Fisher doesn't tell her that the new version of the play is meant as a spoof.
Why you might like this:
Fans of classic Hollywood comedies will enjoy the charming, lighthearted performance by Anne Shirley as the starstruck orphan Jenny, directed by the skilled George Nichols Jr. in this 1936 film. The blend of comedy and drama as Jenny navigates the world of the traveling theater troupe offers a delightful and entertaining viewing experience.
