Synopsis: Frank Elgin is a once great actor, now plagued by alcoholism. Bernie a young director, kmowing Frank's talents gives him one more chance in a new play, against the wishes of both the playwright and the producer. Georgie his loyal wife taked much of the blame for Frank's problems on her shoulders. during the run of the play Frank goes on a bender in his dressing room and comes very close to being fired.However Georgie rescues him and eventually both he and Bernie recognise her unfailing devotion and support and Frank goes on to triumph. A film version was made in 1947 starring Grace Kelly, for which she won an Oscar. Her co-stars were bing Crosby and William Holden. Noel's interpretation of this fine dramatic play stars Kim Taylor as Frank, Garry Lawrence as Bernie and Beverley Lawrence as Georgie.
