Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph caption dated September 14, 1959 reads "When May Britt arrived in America three years ago from her native Sweden she gave the illusion of being austere and unconcerned. But under the California sun she warmed up, and in 'The Blue Angel,' now screening at Grauman's Chinese Theater, she is ardent enough for any man -- or men. Off the screen May is a tomboy, she claims, and loves to splash in the pool with her bear pal, Fabian, to guard her."
