This adaptation of Clifford Odets’ stage drama features Bing Crosby as the hard-drinking Frank Elgin, a once-popular Broadway star whose glory days have passed. When director Bernie Dodd (William Holden) gives Elgin a role in his new musical, he must also deal with the actor’s sour and ever-present wife, Georgie (Grace Kelly), who Dodd believes is the cause of her husband’s failure.
