Jean Simmons plays Annie Leeds an innocent teacher who takes a part time jo in a nightclub for the money. She has two bosses--gruff but nice Rocco (Paul Douglas) who likes her and obnoxious Tony (Anthony Franciosa) who can't stand her and sleeps with any woman he can get. Guess who she falls in love with.
Utterly predictable but pleasant and well-done. You know exactly where this is going but I was entertained. It's also kind of fun the way they dance around the fact that Simmons' character is a virgin. Back in 1957 you still couldn't say "virgin" on the screen so you had to make it clear other ways. The film does succeed but it seems funny today. The acting varies. Simmons is good and Douglas is obviously having a whale of a time in his role. Oddly Franciosa is pretty bad but it was his first film.
Pleasant little movie.
