Title: A Vintage Continuity Layout Photograph Depicting Ginger Rogers Dancing with Jean-Pierre Aumont at the Glamorous Embassy Ball in a Scene from "Heartbeat".
Description: Hollywood, CA: RKO Pictures, (1946). (1946). - A 9-7/8 inch high by 7-1/2 inch wide glossy black & white vintage photograph depicting Ginger Rogers dancing with the dashing young attache played by Jean-Pierre Aumont at the Embassy Ball. Both are portrayed from the waist up. The number "HB-64" is printed in white along the bottom right of the image. There is a light stain to the bottom of the photograph from the glue applied to the text on the verso. Good.

This a vintage publicity photo, not a reproduction, sent out to cinemas at the time. Text describing the scene is mounted with glue on the verso. It reads: "CONTINUITY LAYOUT NO. 7. Heartbeat - Story in Pictures - Arlette and Pierre grow romantically closer and arrange to take the same train when they discover the coincidence that they are both leaving for Geneva the following morning. Keeping up her masque of pretense, Arlette gives Pierre a false address as her residence, then heads for Professor Aristed's school. Unable to procure the watch, which two of the Professor's operators saw her steal at the Ball, Arlette is ignominiously expelled by the eminent mentor."

After escaping from a reformatory for girls, Ginger Rogers becomes the best student in Dr. Aristide's Parisian school for pickpockets. She is soon caught by an elderly Ambassador played by Adolphe Menjou whose stickpin she attempted to lift. The Ambassador blackmails her into stealing a watch from a handsome young attache played by Jean-Pierre Aumont. As events unfold, she soon falls in love with the young man. Good .
