Love Me or Leave Me
US (1955): Musical/Biography
Jazz Age singing sensation Ruth Etting (Doris Day) had looks, ambition and a haunting, smoke-tinged voice. It took more than that to make her a star. It took Marty 'The Gimp' Snyder (James Cagney), the limping, evil-tempered Chicago hood who propelled Ruth from dingy dance halls to Broadway fame... but turned her off-stage life into a nightmare of violence and fear. Charles Vidor directs for MGM. Cast also features Cameron Mitchell, Robert Keith, Tom Tully and Harry Bellaver. (Alex Iapp, IMDb)
