Plots(1)
Jazz Age singing sensation Ruth Etting (Doris Day) had looks, ambition and a haunting, smoke-tinged voice. It took more than that to make her a star. It took Marty 'The Gimp' Snyder (James Cagney), the limping, evil-tempered Chicago hood who propelled Ruth from dingy dance halls to Broadway fame...but turned her offstage life into a nightmare of violence and fear. (official distributor synopsis)
