A bright, romantic comedy about ambition and love in 1950s New York, where a woman's sudden fame through billboards becomes the catalyst for both her rise and her romantic awakening.
Gladys Glover has just lost her modeling job when she meets filmmaker Pete Sheppard shooting a documentary in Central Park.
