Men on Her Mind

Mary Beth Hughes has just gotten a job singing on the radio. Her sponsor, wealthy Alan Edwards, wants to marry her. Up pop two other boyfriends, wealthy Edward Norris, and songwriter Ted North, both of whom want to know why she left. We then get her history, including why she bailed.

This soap opera, with a couple three songs sung by Miss Hughes, is a dull and stupid affair, with clumsily spoken dialogue. Given that all four performers have proven themselves capable of speaking convincingly, I blame screenwriter Raymond Shrock and director Wallace Fox, as well as the budgets from PRC, which undoubtedly made rehearsal a purely theoretical idea.

Some nasty thoughts should be reserved for the costume director, who insists on putting Miss Hughes in hideous hats. Whoever that is was smart enough not to take a screen credit.
