Is she excited? No! [...] The slim blonde naval typist from Windsor would rather be a Wren than a movie star, though she has qualifications for both positions. She considers herself quite an ordinary Wren, doing an ordinary sort of job, and coming from an ordinary background. But her part in the film is definitely more than ordinary [...]."
