Tell It to a Star is a 1945 American musical film directed by Frank McDonald, written by John K. Butler, and starring Ruth Terry, Robert Livingston, Alan Mowbray, Franklin Pangborn, Isabel Randolph and Eddie Marr.
A note is delivered to the resort's bandleader, Gene Ritchie, requesting that Carol get a chance to sing.
Gene already has a singer, Mona St. Clair, so the note causes resentment and Carol is fired.
Meantime, a con artist who calls himself "Colonel" Morgan turns up and, with partner Billy, begins scamming the hotel's guests.
She's a great success, but when an irate Mona reveals that Morgan's a con man who has even promised to deliver a new benefactor for the band, the musicians walk out.
