This romance, directed by Mitchell Leisen — HOLD BACK THE DAWN (1941) and TO EACH HIS OWN (1946) — stars Carol Lombard as singer Maggie King and Fred MacMurray as musician Skid Johnson. Shortly after their nuptials, the couple’s marriage is tested when Skid runs into an old fling, Anita Alvarez, played by Dorothy Lamour.

Lamour is one of those classic movie stars who made a big impact on the industry, but who, for some reason, has been since overshadowed by the Joan Crawfords and Bette Davises. Lamour starred in dozens of pictures and has not one, but two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to both radio and cinema. Lamour’s onscreen popularity skyrocketed during the 1940s, when she starred alongside Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in the ROAD TO … comedy series. But her career began in the 1936 when she was cast as the lead in THE JUNGLE PRINCESS followed by SWING HIGH, SWING LOW.
