Rejecting “The Prom”-posal - Movie Review
Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
Doll Face (1945)
Burlesque queen Doll Face Carroll is dismissed from an audition for a legitimate Broadway show because she lacks culture. Her boss/manager Mike decides that she can get both culture and plenty of publicity by writing her autobiography. He hires a ghost writer to do all the work, but doesn't count on the possibility that Doll Face and her collaborator might have more than a book on their minds.
