This movie is based on a novel written by Steve Fisher titled I Wake Up Screaming. Vicki Lynn was
working as a night shift waitress when Steve Christopher spots her. He is a publicist and he thinks Vicki
has a chance to make it big in modeling.
Seemingly overnight, Vicki is modeling, she’s on billboards, her picture
is in the paper and she’s singing in a nightclub. Everything is going very well until she announces she has
tested in Hollywood and she is leaving New York.
This film is in black
and white. There is a mystery and
a lot of good cop bad cop. Also a
lot of pressure is applied questioning family and friends. I liked the clothing, hairstyles
and the cars. 3* (This movie is
OK)
