The Under-Pup is a 1939 American feature film by Richard Wallace that introduced soprano singing star Gloria Jean to the screen.

Production

The screenplay by Grover Jones was based on a story by I.A.R. Wylie, which was published in 1938.

Joe Pasternak held extensive auditions to find the lead throughout 1938, during which he discovered Gloria Jean. She later recalled:

There were hundreds of beautiful little girls there [at the audition]. I had been grabbed out of the sandbox, and I didn’t look so nice. I had pigtails and my teeth were a little crooked. But that’s what Joe liked.... I said, ‘I can’t sing, the piano’s out of tune.’ My mother almost shot me. Joe said, ‘I like this kid.

Filming took place from May to June 1939. It was originally budgeted at $445,000.

Robert Cummings had just appeared in Three Smart Girls Grow Up and been signed to a long-term contract with Universal. Although The Under-Pup was his first above-the-title lead, he was overshadowed by screen newcomer Gloria Jean, on whom the publicity was focused.
