A largely fictionalized account of the career of actress Jeanne Eagels, whose fame was both on stage and on the screen in the 1910s and 1920s, is presented. After losing in a rigged carnival beauty pageant, winning which she believed would be her first step to becoming a serious actress, Jeanne joins the traveling carnival itself under the guidance of the pageant organizer, Sal Satori, who features her in a variety of carnival stage shows. But it's when the carnival approaches New York City that Jeanne demonstrates how she truly mapped out her road to acting fame even before meeting Sal. Under the tutelage of renowned acting coach Nellie Neilson, Jeanne, who does possess true acting talent, is given her big acting break and does achieve fame on the Broadway stage, and ultimately also in Hollywood films. Jeanne is not averse to doing whatever is required to advance her career, even at the expense of others. Achieving fame so quickly takes its toll on Jeanne, who turns to alcohol and drugs which would lead to her tragic end. Although other men would come and go over her life, Sal, who ends up joining forces with his brother in operating lucrative Coney Island attractions, is one constant, he who fell in love with and wanted to marry her.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSo-so conventional and cliche-filled mostly fictionalized biopic of the ill-fated Jeanne Eagels. |
| User ReviewRenda GKim is great. Someone just does not know life as completely or as deeply as she did. Because of my personal studies of the insanity in my own family, in my own reflecting, I have seen these things. Kim is always amazing. It is her own personal heartache from her own family. I think she is very real. Wren. |
| User ReviewRichard DKim Novak...gives the best performance of her career. Add this film to your list. |
| User ReviewAllan CEarnest though rather dull tale of actress Jeanne Eagles (who I hadn't ever heard of before) and her rise and fall. It's a fairly familiar story, but I like Kim Novak and that was enough to hold my interest, even if she did seem a bit hammy during some of Eagles' scenes when she was drunk on stage. Not bad, but not really a classic either. |
