Sidney Lumet's 1958 Buena Vista remake of MORNING GLORY (1933) is yet another fable about the cold nature of showbiz. The beautiful and talented Eva Lovelace (Strasberg) is a small town actress who comes to New York to make it big on the stage, charming producers, playwrights, and actors in the process. Eva and Broadway bigwig Lewis Easton (Fonda) fall in love, but temporarily quell the romance for the sake of maintaining a professional relationship. Meanwhile, Eva manages to usurp the aging Rita Vernon's (Joan Greenwood) starring role in Lewis' latest production. Think 42ND STREET meets ALL ABOUT EVE. STAGE STRUCK features Jack Weston in a bit part and Christopher Plummer in his big-screen debut. This rare and beautiful locandian has charming text mentioning the actor's studio. Art by Olivetti. You won't find this easily. Beautiful of Strasberg and Henry Fonda.
