Whether caught in the footlights or strolling through the speakeasies, she has everything any woman could want--except for love. Torn between a shrewd bootlegger, Larry Maddux (Paul Newman), and a married attorney, Russell Wade (Richard Carlson), Morgan finds herself on an express train to tragedy and alcoholism. THE HELEN MORGAN STORY includes renditions of such classic Morgan tunes as "Why Was I Born," "Sunny Side of the Street," and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" (all sung by Gogi Grant). [More]
