Ginny Simms

Fanciful biography of songwriter Cole Porter, who rose from high society to find success on Tin Pan Alley.

Victor Mature and Lucille Ball lead a star-studded cast in this wacky romantic comedy in which a serviceman has one week to wed an heiress. High-spirited soldier Johnny Grey suddenly inherits $100,000. There's just one catch: Johnny must marry heiress Terry (Ball), whom he has never met, within seven days. Supporting comedians and specialty performers include Harold Peary (in his traditional "Great Gildersleeve" radio persona), Ralph Edwards (shown hosting his popular television game show Truth or Consequences), announcer Charles Victor (emceeing his Court of Missing Heirs radio program), singers Ginny Simms and Marcy McGuire, south-of-the-border entertainer Mapy Cortes, and bandleaders Freddy Martin and Les Brown.
