Blu-ray
Ida Lupino really shows ’em how a movie star takes possession of the screen in Raoul Walsh’s excellent romantic drama set among night clubs in Long Beach. The war is over and Lupino’s Petey Brown can’t stop drifting, looking for the right man. A chance trip to visit her siblings entangles her in their personal issues, plus a lecherous new boss. An unhappy jazz pianist might be the man of Petey’s dreams — if he can shake off an old flame. Supporting Ida are Bruce Bennett, Robert Alda, Andrea King, Martha Vickers and Dolores Moran. The soundtrack melodies adapt classic standards, starting with the title tune. This new restoration is said to restore 6 missing minutes to the movie. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
