Editorial Reviews

Susan Hayward pulls out all the stops, and then some, in this cinemadaptation of singer Lillian Roth's autobiography I'll Cry Tomorrow. In as harshly realistic a manner as possible in the still censor-dominated Hollywood of 1955, the film recounts Roth's rise to fame, her precipitous fall and her tearful comeback. The fact that Roth loves not wisely but too well is only part of the problem (only two of her eight husbands are portrayed in the film); contributing factors to her self-destruction also included her witchlike "stage mother" (Jo Van Fleet) and the pressures of fame and fortune. The principal reason for Roth's fall from the height of fame to the depths of squalor and despair is booze -- at least until she begins to pull herself together with the help of Alcoholics-Anonymous representative Burt McGuire (Eddie Albert). The story concludes with a testimonial staged in Roth's honor on the TV series This is Your Life (the original of which still exists in kinescope form). Having been personally coached by the real Lillian Roth, Susan Hayward does an excellent job of copying the singer's unique style. Though Hayward did not win an Oscar for her performance, she did cop the "Best Actress" prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

July 26, 2008: When you think of the truly great leading ladies of the silver screen, Susan Hayward has to be included among them. And this film is one of the reasons why. Made in 1955 at the height of Hayward's career, this film earned her the fourth of her five Oscar nominations as Best Actress. It remains remarkably timeless, due probably to it's themes of grief, addiction, the complex relationships between parents and children, and the lessons we all learn when we choose the wrong people to be in our lives. It's a testament to Lillian Roth's courage that she allowed this film of her life to be made, and that she participated so fully in it's making. It's also a testament to the great talent of Susan Hayward that she is so astoundingly capable and convincing in her portrayal of Roth, revealing to us not only the gritty imperfections and weaknesses of this very human woman, but also the surprising strength that is ultimately found lying beneath the surface.
