Winter Carnival is a 1939 film.
Budd Schulberg and F. Scott Fitzgerald, among others worked on the script, an experience that led to Schulberg's novel The Disenchanted.
Publicity-loving heiress Jill Baxter (Ann Sheridan) returns to her old college for its Winter Carnival after divorce from her exotic husband and reunites with the boyfriend Richard Carlson, now a tweedy professor, that she had dumped for the husband. They flirt and re-find love on the ski slopes and at the parties of the celebration; meanwhile, her young sister hopes to be chosen as carnival queen, Jill's own title while at college.
It recorded a loss of $33,696.
