I’m always slightly amazed at the way women in older movies appear to time-travel when their hair is wet. They lose their 1930s- or ’40s-ness and suddenly show up in the world of tomorrow. As is the case here, at least to my eyes.
Leave your guesses in the comments. I’m heading out to walk before it gets too hot and will drop a hint later if one is needed. Will one be needed? I really can’t tell.

Noon: I’ll drop a hint. This actor has something in common with a Spice Girl.

1:24 p.m.: Oh well. I put the answer in the comments.

That’s Ginger Rogers as Jo Jones in Tender Comrade (dir. Edward Dmytryk, 1943).
"As is the case here, at least to my eyes." ... you mean, your new, improved eyes?
Ha! But even with new, improved eyes, I would not have recognized Ginger Rogers here.
I wish I'd seen this earlier in the day. My wife had the answer in 2 seconds, and has seen the film. No way was she not going to know Ginger.
I’ll check with the judges. Judges?
They say she wins. (I mean, she’s seen the film. That has to count for something.)
