    • Quotes

      Yvonne: I loathe all this acting business. You can never be yourself.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening card: Behind the enchantment of the footlights there is the hard reality of the long climb to success. Mere talent is not enough -- there must be, in the heart of the young player, a burning love of the stage which would sacrifice all else.

      This is the story of Louise Mauban-- a dramatic student -- and her love for the theatre.

    fine
    Louise Mauban (Luise Rainer) attends drama school during the day while working a lowly factory job at night. She is obsessed with becoming a great actress and has no time for the fun-loving girls at school. They suspect that she's an arrogant upper class snob and that's exactly who she pretends to be. She tells them about dating Marquis Andre D'Abbencourt (Alan Marshal) which leads some to suspect her lies. Nana (Paulette Goddard) discovers the truth and plans to embarrass her. Andre turns those plans upside down.

    Luise Rainer is an early acting star and this role asks a lot from her. She has to play a great actress, an enchantress who entices Andre at first sight, and be a lower-class every woman. She's mostly successful... mostly. In reality, she is a great actress. So that's a given. I can accept the love at first sight but it could be filmed better cinematically. She's not the type to stand out as typically the most beautiful. The camera needs to do more. She is also a little too old to be still in school. It is interesting that the teacher talks about Juliet's age and having to be older to play the part. The story meanders around. There are future stars like Lana Turner. It's fine but it's not holding me.
