Eva Lovelace (Katharine Hepburn) is sparkling in her Oscar winning role of 1934 as a naive, innocent actress who arrives in New York with no friends, no money and no accommodation. But what she does have is a wealth of ambition and the unique ability of a small town girl wanting to make it in a big world. Arriving at the offices of Broadways biggest producers, Joseph Sheridan (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) and Louis Easton (Adolphe Menjou), Eva sits patiently whilst a troupe of theatre lovelies are cast for Broadway's next big play. Unable to cope with the bitchy put-downs of leading-lady Rita Vernon (Mary Duncan), Eva pleads with the kindly British Shakespearian actor Robert Harley Hedges (C.
Aubrey Smith) to take her under his wing and coach her. But Broadway is a world of broken dreams and success is sometimes but a fleeting moment of morning glory...
