Maybe if you're doing a bio pic of a strong woman and mother it'd be a good idea not to have the screenplay penned by the mother's daughter! Perhaps that way you could extract what was potentially interesting about Louise Randall Pierson...her less than satisfying first marriage to a stuffed shirt, male chauvinist banker...and jettison what was certain to be rather dull...the whole second half where she meets the love of her life (Jack Carson) and lives happily ever yadda yadda. Also, The Mad Hungarian (i.e. director Michael Curtiz) should have told Roz to soft peddle the perky and punch up the sardonic, always a good idea with this actress whose skill at delivering a cynical line is her main calling card. Not that there are many sharp bits of dialogue in Louise Jr's rather treacly script. Give it a C plus.
