No pretensions. No tantrums. Marjorie Lawrence is a prima donna in the most professional sense of the term. She's a foremost Wagnerian, a soprano equal to the vocal and physical demands of the composer's oeuvre. And she's a beacon of triumph to anyone who fights back when personal tragedy strikes.

Perhaps the story is slightly - or heavily - predictable, but it's still quite a strong drama about how one singing star rose to the top only to plummet to personal rock bottom. If the finale weren't so unnecessarily positive, I'd be willing to give the film more credit, but as it stands, it still deserves an above-average rating.
