Viewing Notes

Why haven’t I heard of this film before? Admittedly not a masterpiece, but pretty darn entertaining. It takes place in the world of the Broadway stage, a la ALL ABOUT EVE, with the requisite jealousy, back-stabbing, and backstage intrigue. Rosalind Russell is very good, as is Sydney Greenstreet, who has one of his best roles.
