Synopsis

Hoping to build up Diana Barrymore into a star of Deanna Durbin dimensions, producer-director Henry Koster cunningly altered Barrymore's dour screen image in the screwball comedy Between Us Girls. The star is cast as Carrie, the glamorous offspring of chic stage actress Chris (Kay Francis). To hide the fact that Chris has a grown daughter, Carrie poses as a 12-year-old, causing her no end of discomfort when she falls in love with Jimmy Blake (Robert Cummings). Meanwhile, Chris does her best to hide her own age from sweetheart Steve (John Boles), only to find that it doesn't matter to him at all. Amidst a great deal of Sennett-style slapstick, Diana Barrymore is given the opportunity to display her inbred versatility by impersonating such stage characters as Joan of Arc, Queen Victoria and Sadie Thompson. Alas, Barrymore's starring career was foredoomed by her own emotional and substance-abuse problems, casting a tragic light on the zany goings-on in Between Us Girls.
