Sinclair romantic theater acting school melodrama ("Daring Intimate Revelations Behind the Scenes"; a really clever story of girls at an acting school where one of them is always falling asleep in class, and she tells her friends that is because she has a rich French boyfriend, when actually she is working in a factory to pay to go to the school; one of the rich female students invites her and her "boyfriend" to a party, intending to humiliate her, but the Frenchman is told of what occurred, and he pretends to actually be her boyfriend, and of course, they fall in love; but ultimately they part when the girl realizes that she loves the theater even more than her rich boyfriend!) starring Luise Rainer, Paulette Goddard, Alan Marshal, Lana Turner (in her sixth credited role!), Anthony Allen, Henry Stephenson, and Genevieve Tobin. Note that the lead roles in this movie were played by Rainer and Goddard, both 28, and both pretending to be school girls. They cast actual teenagers to play the other students, and one of them was Lana Turner, who was only 17, a year after her memorable cameo in "They Won't Forget", and a year away from getting really noticed and becoming a star!
