She's Back on Broadway

There's big ballyhoo on Broadway: Catherine Terris is back, thinking a Great White Way smasheroo will spark her declining movie career. The musical she'll headline is a razzle-dazzler of warbling and wooing called Breakfast in Bed. An eager, talented cast is rehearsed and ready for some snappy showmanship. But the director, Catherine's old flame, is in a snit. He still loves her. And he's sure that once the rave reviews and box-office receipts roll in, she'll depart for Hollywood, just as she did six years earlier.

Virginia Mayo stars in this unofficial follow-up to her 1952 musical hit SHE'S WORKING HER WAY THROUGH COLLEGE. Mayo plays movie star Catherine Terris, who after three box-office flops in a row, returns to the Broadway stage whence she came. Her co-star in this endeavor is Rich Sommers (Steve Cochran), who still harbors a grudge against Catherine because of her walkout during her last Broadway appearance. Predictably, Rich and Catherine bury the hatchet by midfilm, and when fadeout time rolls around they're in each other's arms.
