Description:
Movie star Don Wilson, known for his matinee appeal and blackface comedy, leaves town to escape the spotlight. He impulsively joins a traveling acting troupe under the name Harry Mann and falls for Ginger Bolivar, the troupe's owner and star of their Civil War play. Don's producer discovers the play and believes it’s a comedic triumph perfect for Don's upcoming Broadway show. But will Ginger forgive Don when she realizes he manipulated her? Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc. in 1997.
