Synopsis
Lillian Roth has it all: youth, beauty, movie and Broadway fame and a devoted fiance. Then her fiance dies, and Lillian takes one drink to ease her grievance. Then another. Then ten. Then thousands. And soon her youth, her career and her life are drowning in an ocean of booze. Susan Hayward earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award for her searing portrayal of the real-life performer. Hayward's achievements don't stop there. She provides her own vocals for "Sing You Sinners," "Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe" and more standards. I'LL CRY TOMORROW is "everything a movie biography should be" (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide) - one life, straight up.
