DON’T TELL IT TO THE MARINES!, 1938*

“Need somebody to put that lotion on your back, sugar?”
“Sure, I don’t suppose there’s a Marine around?”
“Never met a Marine who could work with his hands better’n I could.”

Polly Malloy (Carole Lombard) is an expert sailor who is frustrated to learn she’s been tasked with escorting the senator’s daughter, Maureen Evans (Ginger Rogers) to a shindig off the coast. She is pleasantly surprised to learn Maureen isn’t as stuck-up as she’d assumed she’d be, and they strike up a fast friendship that soon. Their relationship takes a deeper turn when Maureen asks for sailing lessons that take on a very private nature indeed!
