The rich debutantes of New York are excited to be invited to the Kingford college house party. Philip S. Griswold III (Lew Ayres) drunkenly invites taxi dancer Jane Thomas (Lana Turner). When she arrives at the party, he doesn't remember and already has a date.
The first half is a solid comedy with the clash of classes between the girls. The setup is good. It's got the desperation and the combativeness. The second half is a bit of hodgepodge of tones with some really, really dark stuff. I would have preferred to stay at that dinner party and end the movie that night. Otherwise, I would really prefer not to have that dark scene with the train. This is one of the early Lana Turner films. She's certainly gorgeous with a good amount of charisma. There are a few other pretty girls. Overall, this has some good aspects although I like the first half more.
