Smooth as Silk (1946)

Small town Idaho girl Virginia Grey remakes herself as a New York socialite and Broadway star, but she's kind of a B and decides to triple-time herself to success, eventually lover # 1 murders lover # 3. This is a B movie in more then one sense, a short and crowed film, competently done but feels like they filmed the back story for an episode of Perry Mason. **

Actress Jane Adams who plays Virginia's sister liked officers, her first husband a Navy Lt. went down with his ship in 42', her second husband of 55 years, was an Army officer who became a general and VA administrator, the last before it became a cabinet rank under Reagan. Ms. Adams lived to be 95.
