Storyline

Joan Lyons and her friend Patricia Drew are autograph hounds spending most of their day bumping into, and having tea, with the likes of Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Based on misinformation from a meddling old-maid governess, Miss Featherstone, Joan also devotes some time to working on the no-problem marriage of her parents to the extent of hiring Dr. Hercules, the strong man from a side show to pay attention to her mother in order to make her father jealous, despite the good advice received from Walter Pidgeon.—Les Adams

Short Review

Juvenile fluff piece which starts as a shallow comedy about throbbing-hearted teens chasing autographs, then morphs into a screwball mistake about parental romance. There are a few in-jokes about the film industry and casting of the time. The cameos give a nice slice of life as portrayed by the studio system.
