Rita Moreno - Her film debut!

In this, her very first film, and at only 19 years of age, she was still known as "Rosita Moreno." Though she'd already been on Broadway, this was an auspicious early presentation of her talent and beauty and her first Hollywood film! In this scene she co-starred with Paul Henried, and lovely Catherine McLeod. Also, just a brief glimpse of sinister matron Buehler, played by superb Grace Coppin.
