Directed by Jack Gage • 1948 • United States
Starring Rosalind Russell, Leon Ames, Leo Genn
How far will an actress go for a good part? Rosalind Russell delivers a tour-de-force performance in this sumptuously mounted, noir-tinged psychological mystery as Valerie Stanton, a Broadway star weary of the light comedies that have made her a success and eager to transition into more serious parts by playing the role of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. When her longtime producer tries to blackmail her into giving up her dramatic ambitions by threatening to reveal dark secrets to her fiancé, Valerie resorts to drastic measures to protect her career and land her dream role.
