- Synopsis:
- Tensions rise in a love triangle involving a fading older movie star, Vanessa Windsor (Hedy Lamarr), her alcoholic daughter Penny (Jane Powell), and Chris (George Nader), the handsome young movie extra who rescues each from separate dangers. Desperate to cling to his love, Vanessa sets Chris up in a life of luxury, but he struggles against the humiliation and limited future of life as a kept man. His ambivalence drives him into the arms of Penny - a double betrayal that pushes Vanessa over the edge.
