THE STORY & (Pseudo)GENRE -- Showbiz drama with tame split-personality and "living" dummy.
THE VERDICT -- Very watchable. The story-line is very good, and whatever is over-dramatic can be chalked up to the characters being part of theater. The musical numbers are not irritating but enjoyable. Erich von Stroheim brings the right amount of pathos. I've watched this a few times over the years.
FREE ONLINE -- Yes, 94-minute Library of Congress print. Unfortunately, the color sequences survive only in b/w, although you can find on YouTube some fan-created colorized sequences.
