Comedy, 91 min, b/w

Eric Wainwright (Van Johnson), a busy impresario, is besieged by hordes of wannabe concert stars, eager for their big break. One of them is Cynthia Potter (June Allyson), a talented pianist... but she can't get in to see him. When she learns that Wainwright is auditioning young musicians for a children's concert tour, Cynthia dons braces and bobby sox and passes herself off as a child prodigy.

In the spanking scene, Johnson is swimming outdoors in the pool during nightime. He comes out with a bottle in his hand, and June Allyson takes it away from him and throws it back into the pool. He sits down, puts her across his knees, takes off one of her slippers and spank her fifteen-sixteen times with it.
