Deanna Durbin and Robert Stack star in First Love, a critically acclaimed "modern day" version of a Cinderella story. A young orphan named Connie (Durbin) returns to live with her wealthy uncle (Eugene Pallette) and his snobbish family in New York after finishing her school. The story follows the magical scenes of Cinderella, including a jealous debutante cousin (Helen Parrish), a grand ball, a handsome love interest, and even a beautiful gown. When Connie is suddenly excluded from the party, it's the service staff that jumps into action, pooling their resources to get her to the ball and back by midnight.
