We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

There are two sides to anybody's town— the high hat side and the lowdown side, and the two rarely meet— in public places that is. But when they do, and they do in M-G-M's new picture — you get a drama like this! Barbara Stanwyck plays the woman in it, a woman who knows the heartbreak of dream street. She's one of the dazzle girls of the social columns married to a man other women pursue. Watch James Mason play this part! Of course there's the other woman — there usually is — but not like this other woman. Ava Gardner plays the role. Watch her go for James Mason! Yes, this is the story of night life, the kind of night life that leads to newspaper headlines— and once in a while to murder! Marcia Davenport's exciting best-seller has come to the screen with stars that make it live!
