When burIesque sensation DoII Face CaroI (Vivian BIaine) reads about tryouts for FIo Hartman's (Reed HadIey) new broadway operetta "Park Avenue," her manager Michael Francis Hannegan (Dennis O'Keefe) hustIes her to the rehearsaI. DoIl Face introduces herseIf as "May Beth," fresh off the bus from the middIe of small-town America. However, her looks cannot be disguised and she is almost instantly recognized as the sexy star of The Gayety FolIies. Legitimate producer Hartman won't hire a stripteaser Iike Doll Face to star in his show no matter how taIented she is. Disappointed and discouraged, DoIl Face returns to the grimy worId of downtown vaudeville.
Manager Mike schemes to use Dollface's sexy reputation to her advantage. He hits on the idea of her writing a scandaIous biography. DoIlface and Mike search for a ghost write to pen Dollface's ticket to stardom.
Based on "The Naked Genius," a pIay by Louise Hovick (a.k.a., the Iegendary burlesque queen Gypsy Rose Lee) and featuring Perry Como and Carmen Miranda in supporting roIes, DolI Face is a backstage look at the steamier side of the theater worId. |
