This movie cast June as a 22 year-old woman impersonating a 12 year-old child, and a piano prodigy to boot. Cynthia Potter (June Allyson) has wanted only one thing in her life, to be a concert pianist. After years of auditions, she finally gets the opportunity to play for New York's biggest impresario (Van Johnson) at a children’s audition. Astonished by her ability, he signs June to a 5-year contract. There's only one problem, he thinks she is 12 year-old Molly, instead of 22 year-old Cynthia.

This news is anything but good to her fiancé, a reporter who wants the scoop. Also starring are Gig Young, Paula Corday, Kathyrn Givney, Larry Keating and Hans Conried. Directed by Robert Z. Leonard, produced by Sam Zimalist. NOTE: June won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for this film.
