A pretty unremarkable vehicle for star Hedy Lamarr ("Madeleine Damien") as she portrays the fashion editor of a glossy New York magazine who burns the candle at both ends a bit too much. She eventually seeks the help of a psychiatrist "Dr Caleb" (Morris Carnosky) to help divert her from a mental breakdown. He suggests she quit her highly pressured job and to basically start her life all over again. It doesn't quite go to plan, as she soon becomes re-embroiled with a millionaire jeweller (and in his murder) and we end up in a court-room melodrama. The story twists and turns but not in any particularly interesting way; Lamarr is clearly the star but her performance is a bit soulless. So much more could have been done with the characterisation and the supporting cast don't add much value either.
