Susan Hayward was a great actress and this was one of her best films. I have always loved this song and I remembered she did it in the movie, so to find it here was a wonderful surprise!

FOR an actress not really known for singing, her vocal efforts here were extremely impressive - and her acting performance was wonderful in the Film.

THANK you for sharing.

I saw this on TCM and it made me wanna cry (I'll do it tomorrow though). It was very touching, but they didn't make it period specific since the styles scream 1950s instead of 1920s or 30s (which the real Lillian Roth spent most of her career).

Not her best role by any means and she was a better singer than a dancer but her emoting made it work.

One of Susan Hayward's best performance, truly worthy of an Oscar. She finally won it 3 years later for I Want To Live! Another great masterpiece for Ms. Hayward, my grateful applause to a fine actress, there will never be another superstar like Susan.
