She's Back on Broadway is a 1953 musical comedy-drama Warnercolor film starring Virginia Mayo in her final musical film, although her singing voice was dubbed by Bonnie Lou Williams.[2] The film was Mayo's unofficial successor to her 1952 musical hit She's Working Her Way Through College.[3]

Plot

When Catherine Terris' career in Hollywood begins to falter, she returns to Broadway, where her first great triumphs occurred. She takes the lead in a play directed by Rick Sommers, with whom she had a romantic past. Sommers is still bitter that she left him to become the toast of Hollywood years earlier. They try to overcome their mutual animosity to make the play a success.
