Storyline
Plot Summary |
Miss Ethel 'Dynamite' Jackson is a chorus girl who mistakenly receives an invitation from the State Department to represent the American theatre at an arts exposition in Paris, France. There's only one problem: the invitation was meant for Miss Ethel Barrymore. Meanwhile, S. Winthrop Putnam, the bureaucrat who made the mistake, tries unsuccessfully to correct his mix-up. It's too late, for Dynamite Jackson is off to Paris, where the two meet and marry, or so they think. Written by Kelly |

Did You Know?
Trivia | Doris Day wrote in her autobiography that she only encountered trouble or tension on two of her Warner Bros. movies: 'April in Paris' and Young at Heart (1954). Regarding this film, she claimed that leading man Ray Bolger and director David Butler clashed early on, with Butler accusing Bolger of trying to steal scenes away from Day. She also mentioned that being a relative newcomer to movies, she was unaware of Bolger's tricks and managed to stay out of the line of fire. See more » |
Goofs | Near the end, when Doris Day "stomps" on Ray Bolger's foot, she doesn't hit even close to his foot. See more » |

Ethel S. 'Dynamite' Jackson:
It's no use, Philippe. I'm in love with the man I married. And he's not even my husband! Philippe Fouquet: Even in Paris, that's an unusual situation. See more » |
