uneven story of a breakup
24 January 2020
When a television personality provides announces the breakup of a famous married couple, Bill Blakely (Victor Mature ) and wife.... their friends talk and think about the couple and their relationship. Jean Simmons is the young starlet on the rise, who is apparently coming between the married couple. This one has a lot in common with "A Star is Born".. which was first made in 1937. and of course, the Judy remake in 1954, right after THIS film. It's a little confusing. seems to end a bit abruptly. not a lot of rhyme or reason. Directed by Roy Rowland. didn't win any Oscars, but made some pretty well known films. was also married to Louis Mayer's neice. one fun note: Alvy Moore apparently filmed scenes for the film, but they were left on the floor... has was Hank Kimball in Green Acres ! might have been fun to leave those scenes in.... guess we'll never see them now. so many roles in the cast list here were uncredited or deleted. The kid "Timmy" was child actor Billy Chapin... appears to have quit hollywood before he hit age 20.
