Starring Ginger Rogers, Frances Dee, Billie Burke
Wanda Tuchock—one of the very few women to be credited as a director in 1930s Hollywood—cowrote and codirected this briskly entertaining girls-gone-wild drama. When Virginia Radcliff (Frances Dee) enrolls in an exclusive private school for rich young women, she quickly learns that—as much as the administration strives to preserve the academy’s reputation—among the students the motto is “Don’t get caught,” and Virginia’s roommate, Pony (Ginger Rogers), may be the wildest of the girls. Now, feeling abandoned by her social-climbing parents and uncomfortable with the antics of her classmates, Virginia finds solace in the arms of a young medical student—bringing her a whole new set of problems.
