This was one of Betty Lynn's 1st roles in her debut year in 1948. You'll see her in the beginning when the professors are playing in their orchestra. She's complaining about the noise to her husband in their little barracks home right next door. She's most remembered for her role as Thelma Lou, Barney Fife's girlfriend on The Andy Griffith Show.

And as of this writing, she's the last one of the cast still living.

Betty would go on to be in Cheaper By The Dozen in 1950 where she would appear as Jeanne Crain's friend.
