Дианна (Дина) Дурбин (Deanna Durbin) в фильме БЕЗ УМА ОТ МУЗЫКИ (Mad About Music)- 1938. 2. Actress Gwen Taylor (Gail Patrick) has just scored a hit with her newest motion picture, Love on Trial. She is the toast of Hollywood, but behind all of the glitter and glamour she is a very sad woman. In order to keep up her image as a glamour girl, she has had to keep her teenage daughter, Gloria (Deanna Durbin) hidden away at a fine boarding school in Switzerland. She gets letters from her daughter every Tuesday and desperately wants her back, though her manager Dusty Turner (William Frawley) advises her to wait until she has enough money, since it could destroy her image, and thus ruin her career. Meanwhile, at school, Gloria feels left out. All of her classmates have mothers and fathers to talk about. She can't talk about her mother, and her father, a Navy flier, died when she was an infant. In order to make herself feel better, she made up an exciting explorer "dad" who writes her letters from all corners of the world The other girls at her school, especially Felice (Helen Parrish) are starting to suspect that the whole thing is a fraud, since her "father's" letters are written in the same handwriting as Gloria's, and also since a photo of her "dad" with an elephant turns out to be only an ad for a cheese company! After Felice embarasses her in front of her friends, Gloria retaliates and is punished. She tries to talk her room-mate Olga (Marcia Mae Jones) into carrying out her punishment for her, telling her that her father is coming in on the next train. All she really wants is just to meet a boy named Tommy (Jackie Moran) whom she met at church and had a date at the confectioner's with. Unfortunately, Olga tells the headmistresses (Nana Bryant, Elisabeth Risdon) that Mr. Harkinson is coming in and Gloria is left in a sticky situation. She goes to the railroad station and picks out Richard Todd (Herbert Marshall), an English composer who is completely baffled when he hears Gloria's plight. He decides to play along with her charade and pose as her father. All of the girls at school are enchanted with Richard and his exciting stories. After a while, Richard gets a telegram saying that he has to go to Paris. Gloria notices in a newspaper that Gwen Taylor (her mother) will be in Paris for an exposition. She sneaks away from school and gets on the same train as Richard, headed for Paris to see her mother. Gloria arrives at the hotel her mother is staying at and talks to Dusty Turner, who turns her away, saying that Gwen would never be able to let her go again if she returned. Dejected, Gloria finds Richard in a hotel and tells him that she saw her mother and that they had a good time. He knows that she is fibbing, however. They go to a movie, Love on Trial, where Richard recognizes Gwen Taylor as Gloria's mother from a photo that she had shown him. He insists on reuniting mother and daughter and takes her to the hotel where the actress is staying. Meanwhile, Gwen finds out from the headmistresses of Gloria's school that she has gone away with her "father" which throws Gwen into a panic. She announces at a press conference that she has a teenage daughter, who is missing. At that exact moment, Richard and Gloria enter. She is reunited with her mother, which causes a publicity frenzy. Gwen and Richard then fall in love, and they all live happily ever after.
