Spoiled socialite Terry Randall takes a room at The Footlights Club, a boarding house for aspiring actresses, hoping to succeed in the business without the influence of her wealthy family. The other girls find her attitude alienating, and Terry's father pulls strings to land her a starring role without her knowledge. Wonderful ensemble cast; time has not dulled this gem. Received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.
