A vintage French movie poster of ''Smash Up'', a 1947 American drama film starring Susan Hayward in the lead role. Directed by Stuart Heisler, the film tells the story of Angela Evans, a nightclub singer whose life takes a dramatic turn due to personal and professional challenges.
Plot Summary:
Angela Evans (played by Susan Hayward) is a talented nightclub singer who dreams of making it big in the entertainment industry. She's married to a supportive and loving husband, Ken Conway (played by Lee Bowman), who works as a press agent. However, as Angela's career begins to take off, Ken starts to feel neglected and struggles to come to terms with his wife's growing success.
Angela's rise to fame is not without its challenges, including the pressures of showbiz, alcohol, and the advances of a wealthy and influential producer, Marty Lamar (played by Eddie Albert). These temptations threaten to derail Angela's marriage and personal life.
As Angela becomes increasingly entangled in a world of fame and excess, her marriage deteriorates, and she turns to alcohol as a means of coping with the mounting pressures. Her struggles with alcoholism become central to the film's narrative as she spirals out of control, leading to a series of tragic events that impact both her career and her relationships.
"Smash-Up" is a poignant exploration of the toll that fame, ambition, and addiction can take on an individual's life and relationships. Susan Hayward's performance in the film is widely acclaimed and earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
The film delves into themes of personal sacrifice, the price of success, and the devastating effects of addiction. It serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of the entertainment industry and the importance of maintaining one's personal values and relationships in the face of fame and temptation.
"Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman" remains a notable film from the 1940s and is remembered for Susan Hayward's powerful portrayal of a woman caught in the throes of a tumultuous personal and professional journey.
