French actress Simone Simon made her American film debut in Girls' Dormitory. Simon portrays a twentyish student in a Swiss private school, harboring a secret passion for headmaster Herbert Marshall. ... read more read more...For her own amusement, Simon writes an intense love letter to an imaginary beau; the letter falls in the hands of two snoopy teachers, who suspect the worst. Running away from her accusers, Simone has a chance meeting with Marshall, who reveals that he is in love with her. The official studio synopsis for Girl's Dormitory states that Simone nobly steps aside to allow a middle-aged teacher (Ruth Chatterton) to marry Marshall, but in the film itself Simon ends up with Marshall after all. The synopsis barely mentions Tyrone Power, appearing in his first film for 20th Century-Fox. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Simon has such a thick French accent it takes a while to get used to it, just so that you know, but she is a good actress and I liked her in this movie. At first I thought Chatterton was going to be the main character but it turned out to be Simon instead. I really liked the st... read moreory about the girl who falls in love with her teacher, and I was surprised by the ending. I liked this movie, it was good.
