| Plot Keywords | |
| Taglines | Modern Joan Of Arc- a Song for a sword--a voice that sets a great nation afire- a heart that is seared by her flaming song when it dooms the man she loves. Thousands of people in the cast! Gigantic riot scenes! Gay parties of pampered princesses. All the mighty drama that made it Broadway's greatest success made doubly thrilling by the greatest of all singing casts.
