Steve,

Is my face red or what?? I gave you the plot summary of "I Want To
Live", not "I'll Cry Tomorrow". I apologize. My brain just slipped a
cog or two. Maybe because Susan Hayward stars in both. The IMDB gives
the following plot synopsis:

Deprived of a normal childhood by her ambitious mother, Katie (Jo Van
Fleet), Lillian Roth (Susan Hayward) becomes a star of Broadway and
Hollywood before she is twenty. Shortly before her marriage to her
childhood sweetheart, David Tredman (Ray Danton), he dies and Lillian
takes her first drink of many down the road of becoming an alcoholic.
She enters into a short-lived marriage to an immature aviation cadet,
Wallie (Don Taylor), followed by a divorce and then marriage to a
sadistic brute and abuser Tony Bardeman (Richard Conte). After a failed
suicide attempt, Burt McGuire (Eddie Albert)comes to her aid and helps
her find the road back to happiness after sixteen years in a nightmare
world, not counting the first twenty with her mother.

So it does seem to be a recovery story. I haven't seen it, but Susan
Hayward is never short of spectacular. Sorry for the brain fade.
