Blonde Fever is a 1944 American comedy film starring Philip Dorn, Mary Astor, and Felix Bressart, and introducing stage actress Gloria Grahame.
Delilah learns about her husband's obsession and tries to wait it out, hoping Sally marries fiancée Freddie Bilson (Marshall Thompson) before things go too far.
Freddie doesn’t make enough money to wed working at a gas station, so Delilah gets him a job at the restaurant and a place to live for free above their garage.
Sally now pledges her loyalty to Freddie and disappears with him, while Peter begs Delilah for forgiveness, proclaiming his undying love and assuring her how much he’s been wisened both by his own foolishness and her understanding.
Good fortune then smiles when Delilah‘s trusty ally, the restaurant bartender, confesses he failed to carry out her wishes of turning over the entire lottery winnings to Freddie, and instead simply bought him off with the new motorcycle and a mere thousand dollars.
