Definitely not a female impersonator

7/10

"Soda-jerk Lana Turner (Peggy) wins $2.50 for punctual attendance over 1,000 consecutive days and she has the privilege of spending this gift within the store that she works for. What a lucky break! She is horrified at this pointless achievement and so quits for better things. Quote right, Lana. What she does next is pretty dodgy, though. Watch and find out in this romantic comedy which also stars Robert Young (Bob) as the man pursuing her in more ways than one. This film has a good cast with Turner very good in the lead role. I wasn't too keen on Young, he's a bit drippy in this but..."

💡 Did You Know?

During production there were a few proposed titles for the film, such as "Nothing Ventured," "Lawless," "Careless Cinderella" and "Careless." In view of the recent scandal involving a pregnant Lana Turner (whose marriage to the child's father, Stephen Crane, was not legal since his divorce from his first wife had yet to become final), those titles were rejected. Eventually, the studio settled on "Slightly Dangerous," an ironic title for a comedy that did ultimately serve the film (and Turner) very well.
