    1950's bio-pic about the rise and fall (and rise) of actress/singer Lillian Roth. A melodramatic take on alcoholism that rivals The Lost Weekend.

    Susan Hayward was best-known for her gutsy and fiery portrayls of women on the edge, and "I'll Cry Tomorrow" is no exception. Hayward is mesmerizing in this biopic of alcoholic singer Lillian Roth. A must-see for Hayward fans.
