Linda Darnell is 115° in the shade.

Linda Darnell is 115° in the shade. The Dallas native, was one of the most beautiful women to be shown on the silver screen.

Born in Dallas, Texas There was no doubt that Linda Darnell had a rare gift for someone so young. When the Hollywood studios sent scouts to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, her mother thought it would be a good idea to take Linda to a tryout. The talent scouts took one look at her and arranged for a screen test. She made the trek to Hollywood, but when her real age became known she was sent home. After two years and more local theater appearances, Linda returned to California and her career was off and running.

Linda convincingly plays the sophisticated wife of well-off businessman Tyrone Power, whom she incorrectly suspects is playing patty-cake with another woman. No one in Hollywood ever played a better womanizer than Warren William, he does it to perfection in this terrific film. Warren is a business associate of Tyrone Power, and he has Linda Darnell on his radar screen. This is a fun, lighthearted movie with beautiful people. Even the bad guy is funny and not seriously threatening. Great entertainment. I'm very happy to have this terrific movie in my 3,000 DVD/Blu-ray collection where I know it cannot be banned or censored in the future.
