The Perils of Pauline

Betty Hutton explodes on the screen in this fine musical comedy, (very) loosely based on the life of "The Perils of Pauline" star Pearl White. The film follows White from her time as a factory worker and aspiring actress to a stint with a touring theatrical troupe to fame as a silent serial queen. John Lund, Billy De Wolfe co-star. Songs include "I Wish I Didn't Love You So," "The Sewing Machine," "Poppa, Don't Preach to Me," and more. 96 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
