Dreamboat (film)
Dreamboat is a 1952 comedy film starring Clifton Webb as a college professor with a past he would rather remain hidden.
Plot
The respectable lives of Professor of English literature Thornton Sayre (Clifton Webb) and his daughter Carol (Anne Francis) are severely disrupted when it is revealed that he was once a matinee idol known as "Dreamboat". His films are being shown on a television show hosted by his former costar Gloria Marlowe (Ginger Rogers). The college administrators clamor for his resignation, but President Mathilda May Coffey (Elsa Lanchester) requests and is given discretionary power to decide what to do. In private, she admits to Thornton that she had been one of his biggest fans.
Thornton hastily leaves for New York to get an injunction against the show, taking Carol along. There they meet Sam Levitt (Fred Clark), the man responsible for airing the movies. While Sam and Gloria try to get Thornton to change his mind, Sam has underling Bill Ainslee (Jeffrey Hunter) show Carol the sights. Undaunted, Thornton eventually gets his injunction, but his life is irreparably changed. He is fired after spurning Coffey's advances, and Bill and Carol have fallen in love and are planning to get married.

by: WalkmenI left you a million times,
I left you a million times.
The irony ain't lost on me
Oh, no, no, no, no, no(x2)
Virginia, I miss you the most
Virginia, I got so lost
Your sympathy ain't wasted on me
I left you a million times
I left you a million times.
The irony ain't lost on me
