SMASH-UP: THE STORY OF A WOMAN DIRECTED BY STUART HEISLER In Susan Hayward's first starring role, she plays a nightclub singer who exchanges her own aspirations for her husband's. As his Sinatra-like singing career ascends, she descends into the bottle, until her husband (Lee Bowman) begins divorce proceedings. Based on an original story co-authored by Dorothy Parker, Smash-Up opens this year's Summer Music and Movies series on a dramatic pitch, and earned Hayward the first of her five Oscar nominations. 1947, U.S., BW, 16mm, 103 minutes. |
