Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFay states she has $3,000 saved up when turning down the part in Carstair's play. That would equate to nearly $59,000 in 2021.
- GoofsAt the opening night of Fay's play "Springboard", pages from the program are shown to indicate the play's progress. The one for the second act reads: "Springboard, Act II, Interior Fay Carter's living room, next day." Fay Carter is the *actress*. Unless the character has the same name as the star, this was an error.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits show a woman's hands opening a locked diary, which when opened, displays the credits as the pages are flipped.

Featured review
love triangle from the 1930s...
Kay francis day on tcm. In this one, up and coming actress fay convinces an architect team to back her new play so she can play the lead. And it's a huge hit! The problem is that both partners in the firm have fallen for her; but she is in love with the one (dick) still married to the separated wife. Fay has made it clear her career will always come first. Which partner will win the love of fay ? It's all light and fluffy... we kind of forget about her acting career. Now the story is who will she end up with? One bonus here is dennie moore, the secretary at the firm... she played a small but important role in the women from 1939. Directed by bill keighley. He worked with bette davis and george brent, but never got the oscar.
