Earl Carroll Vanities is a 1945 American musical film directed by Joseph Santley and written by Frank Gill Jr.. The film stars Dennis O'Keefe, Constance Moore, Eve Arden, Otto Kruger, Alan Mowbray and Stephanie Bachelor. The film was released on April 5, 1945, by Republic Pictures.

Her royal highness, Princess Drina, returns to America, where she was educated. She is traveling with her betrothed, the usually inebriated Grand Duke Paul, and with Queen Mother Elena, who wants Drina to secure a bank loan that will sustain their small republic economically.

Drina encounters an American woman who runs a nightclub, "Tex" Donnelly, and confides that her secret wish was always to sing and dance. Tex's business partner and songwriter, Danny Baldwin, needs a replacement when the club's star entertainer, his girlfriend Claire Elliott, sprains an ankle, because impresario Earl Carroll is considering everyone for his new revue. Tex offers Drina a chance to perform, and she's an instant success.

Danny and Claire both resent the attention Drina receives over the next two weeks, and Claire exposes the secret that Drina is actually royalty. Queen Elena insists that Drina give up this foolish new activity and return to her duties, but when Tex's master of ceremonies Pinky tricks her into one last appearance on stage, Drina's loved by everybody, including Danny.
