A Girl Must Live
A runaway schoolgirl falls amongst chorus girls planning to marry into nobility. A girl runs away from her Swiss finishing school to go on stage under a false name just as a rich young rubber-planter returns to England to inherit a title, with her fellow lodgers and chorus girls both determined to get their hooks into him. The honors are about even as Gloria Lind (Renee Houston) and Clytie Devine (Lilli Palmer) fight it out for The Earl of Pangborough's (Hugh Sinclair's) attentions, until the whole chorus line is unexpectedly invited to spend the weekend at the Pangborough mansion, along with their Producer Joe Gold (David Burns) and the wallet-lifting Hugo Smythe (Naunton Wayne), and the "real" Leslie James (Margaret Lockwood) makes an appearance. —Igenlode Wordsmith
