Gloria, pushed by her ruthless mother (Sarah Edwards), is discovered by hustler Miller (Dan Healy) and soon leaves her old life behind in order to hit the big time which she eventually does by a Ziegfeld Folly though ends up being screwed by Miller. The second half of the time is a spectacular Ziegfeld show which Gloria is in but of course there is a price to be paid for fame.
The story is well worn but as a historical curiosity the film is well worth watching. The staging and spectacle of the final show is mesmerising with a few big stars of the day also performing (to varying degree of merit).
