Featuring Ted Healy (Solo)
95.5 min. (Feature Film)
Lola Burns (Jean Harlow) is a famous movie superstar who has grown tired of the life of glamour and wants something more fulfilling. However, her publicity agent Space Hanlon (Lee Tracy) is always dreaming up scandalous tales to keep her name in the headlines. Lola tries to bring a sense of home-life to her harried existence by adding a family. She plans to adopt a baby and settle down with her director (Pat O'Brien), but each of her plans are dashed by Hanlon's sneaky duplicity. Meanwhile, her freeloading father (Frank Morgan) and drunkard brother Junior (Ted Healy) keep mucking up her chances at a normal life. Hanlon hatches a plan to end her desires for home and family, but eventually realizes that the reason he is spending so much time on Lola's publicity is that he's falling for her.
So as not to mislead audiences into thinking this was a war picture, MGM re-titled the film BLONDE BOMBSHELL for its initial run in the United Kingdom.
Frank Morgan is best remembered for his 1939 role of the Wizard in THE WIZARD OF OZ.
