Though she knows it may end their relationship, Brooks enters the contest and ends up being offered an opportunity to pursue both modeling and acting.

Reviews for Prix De Beaute
Although beset by a possessive lover, by showbiz exploiters and, in a remarkable funfair scene, by humanity generally, Brooks is so sheerly, dominatingly vivacious that oppression hardly seems an issue.
Miss Brooks is a lovely, unusually idiosyncratic screen presence but the film is something of an effort to sit through.
