That’s Johnny Roventini (“Call for Philip Morris”) in the background, above a display of upside-down Chesterfield packs. But who’s in the foreground?
I’ll drop a hint if one is needed, and brother, one is gonna be needed. (I’m typing like the 1940s.)

A hint might help: In this movie, she’s a long way from Salzburg.

Noon: I think this one’s ungettable. You’re still welcome to play, but I’ve put the answer in the comments.

That’s Eleanor Parker (Baroness Elsa von Schraeder in The Sound of Music) as Norma, cashier at the magazine and tobacco counter, in Busses Roar (dir. D. Ross Lederman, 1942).
Ha, is this Sound of music week (Christopher Plummer too)?
A bonus from random movie choices. Like Murder, She Wrote — you never know who might show up.
LOL after bragging about how much I've seen Sound of Music in your earlier post, I was completely stumped by this one!
But she is pretty much unrecognizable here.
More synchronicity: I forgot (but Elaine didn’t) that the main character in Nabokov’s Glory (in recent posts) is named Martin Edelweiss.
