A vintage movie poster reprint of ''Morning Glory'',a 1933 American pre-Code drama film directed by Lowell Sherman. The film stars Katharine Hepburn and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and explores the world of theater and the pursuit of fame. Here is a description of the film:
Plot:
"Morning Glory" follows the story of Eva Lovelace (played by Katharine Hepburn), a young and aspiring actress who dreams of making it big in the theater. Eva is determined to succeed and leaves her small hometown to try her luck on Broadway in New York City.
Upon her arrival in the city, Eva faces the harsh realities of auditioning and trying to secure roles in the competitive world of theater. She struggles with rejections and disappointments but refuses to give up on her dreams.
Eva's big break comes when she is cast in a minor role in a struggling play produced by a cynical and alcoholic director, Louis Easton (played by Adolphe Menjou). Despite the challenges of working in a troubled production, Eva's talent and determination shine through, and she becomes the talk of the theater world.
As her career begins to take off, Eva finds herself torn between her dedication to her craft and her growing feelings for Joseph Sheridan (played by Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), a playwright who becomes enamored with her. The film explores the challenges Eva faces in balancing her personal life and her pursuit of stardom.
Katharine Hepburn delivers a remarkable performance as Eva Lovelace, capturing the character's ambition, vulnerability, and resilience. Her portrayal earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress, her first of four Oscars in her career.
"Morning Glory" also features strong performances from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Adolphe Menjou, who add depth to the film's exploration of the theater world and the dynamics between artists and producers.
The film touches on themes of sacrifice, dedication, and the price of fame in the entertainment industry. It provides a glimpse into the challenges faced by aspiring artists and the allure of success on the Broadway stage.
"Morning Glory" was well-received by critics and audiences upon its release and remains a notable entry in Katharine Hepburn's filmography. The film's exploration of the theater world, coupled with Hepburn's acclaimed performance, makes it a classic of early Hollywood cinema and a testament to the enduring appeal of stories about the pursuit of dreams in the world of entertainment.
