Synopsis:

After suffering a nervous breakdown (at least that's what she calls it), imperious movie star Carol Corliss (Ginger Rogers) retreats to a small mountain resort community to recuperate. Carol proceeds to adopt a series of ridiculous disguises so she won't be bothered by her fans, only to realize that she misses being bothered. She also tangles with chauvinistic local sportsman Emory Muir (George Brent), who's convinced that Carol is one shrew who is worth taming. In Person was released after the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers vehicle Top Hat, but filmed earlier; even so, Rogers performs a pair of dance routines choreographed by future Top Hat associate Hermes Pan, and as a bonus sings a trio of songs co-written by Oscar Levant and Dorothy Fields. Fans of the Three Stooges will recognize comedy-foil Bud Jamison as a disgruntled (and non-speaking) elevator passenger in the film's opening scene.

Noted psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Sylvester has Hollywood star Carol Corliss as a patient. The beautiful blonde has developed such of phobia toward her crowds of adoring fans that she goes around disguised as a buck-toothed, horn-rimmed, homely brunette or wears a veil over her face to mask her identity. The doctor prescribes a vacation to a mountain lake cabin as part of her cure and asks a young outdoorsman to accompany her and act as therapist. Emory Muir is not impressed by celebrity, especially hers, and seems more interested in sport fishing and photography. Carol metamorphosizes back from her ugly duckling persona to Hollywood princes,s but he remains unimpressed. To compliment matters, Carol's frequent movie co-star, ham actor Jay Holmes, has arrived on the scene to profess his love to her.

Ginger Rogers, a movie star who has had a nervous breakdown and is suffering from agoraphobia, runs away and meets George Brent and they both retreat to the mountains.
