Synopsis
After appearing in a Broadway production of Cyrano de Bergerac, actor John Sheridan (Charles Laughton) informs playwright Paul Taylor (Franchot Tone) that he wants a young, unknown actress to star opposite him in their next production, Strange Laughter. When waitress Kim Walker (Deanna Durbin) learns of Sheridan's request, she tries to pass herself off as an experienced actress and even succeeds in winning the coveted role. That's when the real problems begin. The score by Academy Award-winning composer Miklos Rozsa includes "Good Bye," "Danny Boy," and the Rodgers and Hart tune, "Lover."
