Geraldine

Based on a story by Booth Tarkington, Geraldine stars winsome Marion Nixon in the title role. Though quite wealthy, sweet Geraldine Wygate lacks the social graces to win the heart of aristocratic Bell Cameron (Gaston Glass). The heroine’s dad (Alexander Gran) spends a fortune sending the girl to charm school, and upon her graduation she is quite the poised fashion plate. In fact, now she’s too good for the snooty Cameron, and she has fallen in love with her instructor, down-to-earth Eddie Able (Eddie Quillan). The 1953 Republic musical comedy Geraldine was not a remake.
