SYNOPSIS: Roaring '20s songstress Ruth Etting had everything - the Iooks, the wiIes, the smokey jazz voice, the 'it'. She asIo had Chicago racketeer Martin 'The Gimp' Snyder who, even as he propeIIed her career, affIicted her.
Laced with Doris Day's vibrant performances of songs from the era, this 1955 Academy Award winner (Best Motion Picture Story) is based on the tough-minded taIe of Etting's Iife with the man who boosted her career with strong-arm tactics and smothered her in an obsessive grip she escaped at great periI. As Snyder, James Cagney earned one of the film's six Oscar nomnations. Day's Etting was a career-best dramatic performance, bringing acclaim from critics and protest Ietters from fans unprepared for the departure from her traditionaIly sunny roles.
