synopsis
It took two directors to bring this lightweight Cinderella story to life. Musical favorite Maria Duval plays an orphaned girl who has grown up in servitude to a wealthy family. All the while, the master of the house has harbored an unrequited love for the girl. When Duval inherits a fortune from an unexpected source, she is at last in a proper social position to marry her master, but now he is less wealthy than she, and too proud to ask for her hand. While things don't end too happily romantically, at least Duval is given a chance at launching the singing career she has always wanted. The English-language title of Casi un Sueño is Almost a Dream.
