The Girl from Jones Beach

The Girl from Jones Beach is a 1949 comedy film directed by Peter Godfrey, starring Ronald Reagan and Virginia Mayo. Reagan plays a pinup painter who poses as an immigrant student in an effort to ingratiate himself with a beautiful teacher he considers the ideallyproportioned model. Henry Travers appears in his last film role as a judge.

Desperately, Donovan works to get Randolph to disclose the womans identity, but the artist refuses. While Donovan is at Bobs studio, a suspicious invoice for the purchase of twelve identical golden bracelets arrive. And things become even more odd when a girl, who admittedly doesnt look like the Randolph girl, comes to the studio to pose. After Donovan puts pressure on him, Randolph confesses that the Randolph Girl is not an individual but a composite, drawn from the body parts ofdifferent models.Realizing that he is about to fail in his mission of producing the model, Donovan considers taking his own life. He has tried to do this several times before, and each time left a note to his girlfriend, photographer Connie Martin. When Donovan goes to Jones Beach to drown himself, he notices a swimsuitclad woman who is the spitting image of the Randolph Girl. Before he has a chance to contact her, she disappears into a dressing room, and he doesnt recognize her amid all the women coming out. He takes a chance on a girl named Ruth Wilson, and follows her to her home. He learns that Ruth is a language teacher for immigrants, living with her mother and brother. Ruth dresses modestly so as not to not attract too much attention to her body, since she wants men to like her for her mind. ........
