After making his film Wabash Avenue, a year and a half ago, Phil waits by the phone, hoping for word about making another. From their discussion of her duties on the set, apparently Darrel Zanuk may not have been entirely impressed with either Phil or Alice. Visiting the director in the studio, he is more impressed with getting Alice to come back to work. What would it take to make a movie of Alice’s life? Why doesn’t Phil have the same appeal as someone like Gregory Peck? Alice sings a medley, You’ll Never Know, and Alexanders Ragtime Band.
Should Phil take the advice seriously and do something to change his face? Alice figures a good make up job is all it should take. Trying out new looks, will Phil be mistaken for Valentino? Frankie isn’t fooled, it’s Groucho, right? How about Louie Armstrong? Maybe a nose job would be an improvement?
Not wanting any change, Alice phones to have the doctor do her a favor. Meanwhile, on the way Phil meets up with Julius. The jokes about altering appearances continues. Receding chins, wrinkles, nose jobs, and more. If Phil is beginning to have doubts, he should really think things through when Grogan hits the scene. Fast forward and the surgery has been a success, and what about that favor that Alice wanted?
