MARY ASTOR and PHILIP DORN are the nominal stars of BLONDE FEVER, but it's perky GLORIA GRAHAME in her film debut that makes the biggest impression. "There are only two kinds of girls," she tells the amorous Dorn. "Good girls and the other kind, and I certainly hope I'm not the other kind." MARHSALL THOMPSON plays her frustrated boyfriend.
Gloria Grahame gets a chance to show her sultry innocence as the waitress who fancies herself in love with wealthy restaurant owner, the middle-aged Philip Dorn. He encourages her infatuation, even telling her he'll leave his wife Mary Astor, if she will marry him.
The matrimonial discord gets a workout during the rest of the plot, but it all ends happily with Grahame riding off with Thompson on his motorcycle and Astor and Dorn reconciling their differences.
Trivia note: Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy have a brief moment on screen as a couple dining in Dorn's restaurant.
And Astor refers to Grahame as "the surry with the fringe on top", ironic in view of the fact that Gloria later played Ado Annie in Rodgers and Hammerstein's OKLAHOMA!
