HIGHER AND HIGHER. RKO Radio Pictures, 1943. Michele Morgan, Jack Haley, Frank Sinatra, Leon Errol, Marcy McGuire, Victor Borge, Mary Wickes, Elisabeth Risdon, Barbara Hale, Mel Torme. Director: Tim Whelan.

   A former millionaire tries to pass a maid off as his daughter and the season’s number one debutante, hoping to recoup some recent business losses. Naturally humorous romantic complications arise.

   Notable as one of the first movie appearances for Frank Sinatra, who does a fine job playing himself. The plot makes very little sense, and the songs, while more than acceptable, do not entirely seem to match the story.
