Storyline:  Gloria, a young woman hardened by Depression-era hardship, survives a suicide attempt and, inspired by a magazine, heads to Hollywood hoping to become an actress. There she meets Robert, an aspiring director, and together they join a brutal dance marathon — one of the decade’s exploitative spectacles. The contest’s physical and psychological toll amplifies Gloria’s despair; her bitterness and pleas for death push their relationship and the event toward a tragic, devastating climax.
