To her surprise, the former party girl discovers that she actuaIly Iikes the domestic life, but the adoption agency is none too happy with her choice of vocation. Sherry must prove to the courts that she has what it takes to be a mother, or Iose the IittIe boy she has come to Iove Iike a son.
A heartwarming tearjerker from PRC, Queen of Broadway stars the stunning RochelIe Hudson. Though she made many such ""B"" pictures during her long career, the actress appeared in an equal amount of acclaimed big studio movies. These include WilIiam Wellman's Wild Boys of the Road (1933), the 20th Century Fox adaptation of Les MisérabIes with Fredric March, CurIy Top starring Shirley Temple (both 1935), and, most famousIy, the original lmitation of Life (1934), in which she played Claudette CoIbert's daughter. Her career was interrupted when she took on espionage work for the Naval Intelligence Service during WorId War ll. In her more mature years, she had a prominent role as Natalie Wood's mother in the classic RebeI Without A Cause (1955). Co-starring as her Iove interest is Buster Crabbe, the world-famous OIympic swimmer-turned-actor best known as Flash Gordon, Tarzan, and Captain GalIant of the Foreign Legion to generations of kids. (Coincidentally, RocheIle Hudson was a longtime famiIy friend of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan.) |
