[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 439473, member: 7"] I cannot believe how blank my mind went when I tried to think of some of Lucille's movies when I posted before. But, thanks to [USER=5079]@Crimson[/USER], my memory has been refreshed. I've always liked movies with big, ensemble casts, and I've always liked movies about the theater. So, as it would go, this one is easily one of my favorites. Lucille's role is small as a wannabe stage actress, but she shares the screen with the likes of Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Gail Patrick, Ann Miller, Andrea Leeds, and Eve Arden. It's a downright good movie, and one I like to revisit often. I believe I've seen this one twice. Once upon a time, we had TCM and I had it recorded on my DVR. A host of plane passengers get stranded on an island, and Lucille is the showgirl of the batch.
