Cindy Lou Bethany of Authoress Clare Boothe's play was a syrupy Southern blue blood who went to a Connecticut house-party with a Hollywood director to meet a Hollywood producer and salt away the screen role of Velvet O'Toole, the Confederate heroine of the national best-seller Kiss the Boys Goodbye. Paramount's Cindy Lou (Mary Martin) is an out-of-work Broadway chorine who scurries to her ancestral Southern home after learning that a Broadway director (night-blooming Don Ameche) is Dixie-bound to scour the South for a sure-nuf Southern belle...
