Storyline
Plot Summary |
Gladys Glover has just lost her modeling job when she meets filmmaker Pete Sheppard shooting a documentary in Central Park. For Pete it's love at first sight, but Gladys has her mind on other things -- like making a name for herself. Through a fluke of advertising she winds up with her name plastered on six billboards throughout city. Suddenly all of New York is clamoring for Gladys Glover without knowing why, and playboy Evan Adams III is making a play for Gladys that even Pete knows will be hard to beat.

Did You Know?
Trivia | In a 1972 interview, George Cukor told Gavin Lambert about the little natural moments that come out in performances; as an example, he described the shooting of the seduction scene in Peter Lawford's apartment. "It so happened we had a property man on the picture who'd worked with The Three Stooges. He said, 'I have an idea, may I help on this?' I said, 'Please do,' and he suggested, 'Let her take the earring off herself, so he can nuzzle her ear.' So we did, and it made a terribly funny moment. Later in the scene she had to pour champagne down Peter Lawford's neck. We only have four shirts for Peter Lawford, so we could only shoot four takes, and it was tricky for the camera. On the last take I said, 'Judy if you laugh, I'll just kill you, I'll kill you dead.' Well, she didn't laugh, but she giggled, and it was absolutely great. I asked if she'd done it deliberately, in spite of what I'd said, and she didn't really know. Sometimes you get these very human things on the set." See more » |
Goofs | The fictional New York TV station on which Gladys appears has call letters KXIW. Call letters for radio and television stations located east of the Mississippi River normally begin with W; Ks are generally assigned only west of the Mississippi. This has been the case since 1923; however, numerous W's west of the Mississippi, and K's east of the Mississippi, have been "grandfathered." Examples are KDKA, Pittsburgh, WBAP, Fort Worth, WDAY, Fargo and WDAZ, Devils Lake. See more » |

Quotes |
Pete Sheppard:
Say, if you care to give me your address, I could drop you a postcard and fix it up for you to see this picture when it gets done. Gladys Glover: I'd give my right arm to see myself in the movies. Pete Sheppard: You don't have to give me your right arm. Just give me your right address. Gladys Glover: 262 West 61st Street, Room 9. Pete Sheppard: Well, so long Gladys. [Extends her hand but instead of him shaking it, Pete kisses it impulsively. She looks taken aback] Pete Sheppard: I saw a fella do that in a French movie last week. I've been meaning to try it ever since. See more » |
