Handlung
Helen Morgan ist schön, begabt und erfolgreich. Doch all das bedeutet ihr nichts, wenn sie nicht die große Liebe ihres Lebens bekommt: Alkoholschmuggler Larry Maddox, der sie so lange hinhält und immer wieder sitzen lässt, bis sie am Boden zerstört ist. In seinem fünften Film spielt Paul Newman die Rolle des aalglatten Gangsters mit unerschütterlichem Selbstbewusstsein. Und Ann Blyth, hier in ihrem letzten Kinofilm, verkörpert die unglückliche Sängerin (die zum Orginal-Ensemble des Musicals Show Boat gehörte), wobei Gogi Grant die Singstimme für die berühmten Morgan-Songs beisteuert. Große Unterhaltung garantieren zudem echte Ikonen der 20-Jahre: Rudy Vallee, Walter Winchell und Morgans tatsächlicher musikalischer Begleiter Jimmy McHugh. Die Chronik einer Legende, deren Lieder jeden Liebeskummer heilen konnten außer ihrem eigenen. Ein Leben im Rausch stammt aus dem Hause Warner Home Video.
