Trailer for “Page Miss Glory”

The trailer makes it seem like the cartoon version was better. I haven’t seen this, though. Maybe it’s good.
Newscopy: “POODLE CAN’T DANCE IN COURT: UNDIGNIFIED—Jet-black Francois, the dancing poodle, never had his day in court to take the witness stand for his mistress, Elaine Tennyson. Red-headed Elaine, 39, social director of Guys & Dolls, 466 Geary st., wanted Francois to take the stand in her suit for $15,000 against a former friend, Lillian Lamb. Elaine was in Lillian’s car June 6, 1959, she claimed, when she was injured by a sudden stop. Francois, in her lap, was hurt, too, but recovered, she said. Miss Lamb’s attorneys had charged that both Francois and Elaine were well enough to dance the cha-cha-cha on TV. Tain’t true, Elaine told the jury yesterday … she only had held Francois’ leash … he did the dancing. Superior Judge Walter Carpenti ruled out a poodle dance as undignified. Francois had no comment for the press. Elaine rested her case. The jury went home—with a fresh start due today. Elaine Tennyson and Jet-black Francois: Dancing poodle barred from stepping out in court. News-Call Bulletin Photograph.”
