With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. New York is practically a character here.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1923: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Corinne d'Alys (Daniels) achieves sudden success on the stage and among her many admirers is noted artist Robert Townsend (Menjou). Robert is married to Elsa (Williams), the sister of John Elliott (Stone), the producer responsible for Corinne's rise to fame. The young woman's head is turned by the praise she receives and, despite John's warning against Robert, she permits the latter to paint her portrait and pay her a good deal of attention. John himself loves Corinne and believes that wisdom will come to her with time.
