Susan Strasberg gives a slightly annoying performance as a wannabe stage star who is romanced by producer Henry Fonda, whilst young writer Richard Chamberlain (in his debut) pines for her. Good support in guise of ageing Herbert Marshall (though he carried on acting up to his death in his seventies) and Joan Greenwood (with John Feidler in a bit part).
Franz Planer's New York is colourful and subdued - BBC's print crops what looks like a 1.66:1 ratio, leading me to doubt IMDB's factoid that this was one of the last films to be made in the Academy Ratio. Good music by Alex North. RKO.
