Synopsis

Vaudeville hoofer's wife Twelvetrees lies about her marital status to get hubby Ford a break with Jory, an honest radio executive . Conscience gets the better of her, and she confesses but Jory gives him an audition anyway. Ford becomes a star, but sabotages his career with drink and a dalliance with hard as nails socialite Dodd, who toys with him for fun. Oddly, Twelvetrees chooses to take a repentatnt Ford back. Pre-Code fairytale, matter of fact, unsentimental drama well acted by all, despite weak ending.
