...weekend of sitting in Manhattan nightclubs, Barbara Jo Walker, 21-year-old "Miss America of 1947," finally got back home. Memphis' welcome filled her eyes with tears. There was a big parade, a luncheon with the mayor, a fashion show, a ball at which she danced with her fiancé, Intern John Hummel. Then Miss America went back to her studies at Memphis State College, her choir singing and her Methodist Sunday School class...
With the help of a girl friend named Sigrid Kraft, who also had a fiancé in the U.S., Gitte procured a packing box 29 inches long by 21 inches deep. She bored some air holes in it, equipped it with inside latches, stocked it with sleeping pills, four slices of black bread, a jar of tea and some razor blades (to slash her wrists in case the worst came to the worst).

Next thing she knows, she is in line for the Bible, the moss rose, and the hair's-breadth intervention of Scotland Yard (Vincent Price...
...professor of psychology, who keeps sounding off on the subject, with unflattering details. Teresa Wright, a star reporter, is assigned to work up some newspaper feature copy ridiculing the professor. She enrolls as a student, hounds him through bachelor's quarters and classrooms, and outsmarts his chilly fiancée, Rose Hobart, at the cat-&-cat game. In some bewilderment, psychologist and girl reporter fall in love. Typical side dish: a bespectacled adolescent, complete with outsized Adam's apple, who falls for Miss Wright. Best thing in the show: Iris Adrian as a stripteaser, uttering shrill little growls...
