The film is the 1943 RKO release LADIES DAY, starring Lupe Velez (pictured). She was best known as the star of the "Mexican Spitfire" series. Her costar in the film was Eddie Albert, who we remember today for TV's "Green Acres". The plot centers on the efforts of Sox pitcher Albert's teammates to break up his romantic relationship with Velez, because he plays poorly when he's in love.
The guy in the photo is Max Baer...yes, Jethro's dad...the former heavyweight champion of the world! He played the catcher for Albert and got fourth billing in the film.
