It's a Date is a 1940 American musical film directed by William A. Seiter and starring Deanna Durbin, Kay Francis, and Walter Pidgeon.
[4] Georgia Drake (Kay Francis) performs on stage, singing "Gypsy Lullaby"; her daughter, Pamela (Deanna Durbin), watches with her boyfriend Freddie Miller (Lewis Howard).
Claudia's dresser, Sara (Cecilia Loftus), who also worked with Georgia's famous mother and is now a member of the family, accompanies her on the piano.
He thinks that she is a troubled girl who just got jilted by her love, and sets out to distract her by posing as a stowaway, with the help of his friend, the ship's captain.
To keep Georgia from learning the truth, she asks John to take the two of them to dinner in order to avoid an 8 p.m. phone call from Sidney.
Sidney and Ober walk into the ballroom and she tells them that she will not perform St. Anne: She wants “a few years of a real honeymoon.” She suggests that Pam play it.
Pamela, dressed in her nun's habit, sings Schubert's "Ave Maria", while John and Georgia, Sara and Freddie, Sidney and a beaming Ober—watch, entranced.
[6] Durbin was meant to tour Europe and give a Royal Command performance in September but this was cancelled due to the war and she started production on this film instead.
