The musical sensation Jan Powell’s sonorous operatic voice is put to marvelous use in the classic film Delightfully Dangerous. Powell began a tremendously popular film career at the age of 15 and this is her second starring role. Delightfully Dangerous stars Powell as a country girl coming to New York City to visit her older sister Josephine, who is played by the gorgeous Constance Moore. Powell finds her sister in the somewhat less than wholesome occupation as a burlesque dancer performing under the name “Bubbles Barton.” Getting wrapped up in showbiz, Powell navigates her and her sister’s lives through shady producers and touching romance. Delightfully Dangerous is a touchstone nineteen forties musical overflowing with sweet music, dancing, and opulent New York culture.
