A poor but honest and hardworking waitress from way across the tracks meets and falls in love with a college student from the upper-stuffy class, but the Mama of the intended objects to the romance. Her objections even lead her to having the waitress framed and sent to a prison work-farm for three months. Upon her release, the waitress finds instant stardom in the show business…and the social class she was lacking. Big Mama withdraws her objections. —IMDb

Solid movie. Moves fast, all the actors are fine esp Stanwyck and Clara Blandick who plays the evil overprotective mother. Story is creaky esp in the second and third act but hey its only 72 minutes long. It's mostly fun, see it.

A brisk, well-produced (and shot) yet typically class-conscious Columbia programmer, whose shopworn elements are considerably elevated by a plucky Barbara Stanwyck, warming up for her Baby Face role. Made in less than three weeks, it was the studio's top hit of the year.
