Plot
When Catherine Terris' career in Hollywood begins to falter, she returns to Broadway, where her first great triumphs occurred. She takes the lead in a play directed by Rick Sommers, with whom she had a romantic past. Sommers is still bitter that she left him to become the toast of Hollywood years earlier.
