		"Smash Up: The Story of a Woman" (1947) was about a young, shy wife who became an alcoholic because she was not able to adjust to her husband's celebrated career as a singer.
		Somehow she managed to summon up what was left of her inner reserves and rescued the child from the fire.
		The marriage is a failure, and later, in a divorce proceeding, she decides to give up custody of the child rather than reveal the truth to keep from hurting her husband or her daughter.

		If you listen to the woman at the start, she's rattling off slogans but more in a mocking tone than anything else, especially the last phrase where she makes faces about it.
		But I believe that SMASH and his compatriots would never allow a counter-protest to degenerate into violence, and if it appeared to be headed that way, would "execute a retrograde movement".
		Smash is on to something by being polite and friendly to the lefty protestors.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Susan Hayward (1917-1975)
		In 1942 she made a strong impression as a fiery southern belle in Cecil B. DeMille's Reap the Wild Wind, but it wasn't until the late 1940s that she emerged as a star.
		Hayward earned her first Academy Award nomination in 1947 for Smash-up: The Story of a Woman and a second in 1949 for My Foolish Heart.
		At one point it was announced that Hayward would star as a real-life Georgia woman in The Three Faces of Eve (1957), although that part eventually went to Georgia native Joanne Woodward.

	Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman (1947) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Smash Up (a daft title) uses alcoholism as a reason for a melodrama – but the way it uses it, it could have chosen any subject.
		Hayward is OK – she's not as hammy as she could have been, she could have gone all Betty Davis one us!
		But she still plays it up and she doesn't make a convincing drunk – even when going cold turkey she looks glamorous.

	Barnes & Noble.com - DVD, Movie, Video: I Want to Live!, Susan Hayward, VHS
		Grim, almost unbearably intense, I Want To Live is the story of the life and execution of Barbara Graham (Susan Hayward) a perjurer, prostitute, liar and drug addict.
		The final scenes, which lead up to Graham's execution, are exhausting in their emotional intensity as the audience is spared nothing of Graham's agony, despair and desperation when she finally loses the long battle to save her life.
		In this very dark and sobering film, she artfully characterizes a woman with a past, who continues to associate herself with devious characters and engage in lewd behavior, despite some previous run-ins with the law.

	TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
		With the Oscar®-winning smash success of Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend (1945), the subject of alcoholism was suddenly very hot in Hollywood.
		On the surface, this is simply a female version of The Lost Weekend, but the film also throws in elements of A Star is Born and is as much a study of broken marriage as a depiction of alcoholism.
		This was Hayward's first major role, and it immediately established the actress in her hallmark character, that of the downtrodden woman struggling to make a comeback.

	DVD Verdict Review - Susan Hayward Double Feature
		Smash-Up is a powerful portrayal of a woman's decline, remarkable not just for its understanding attitude toward alcoholism but for its subversive message about the role of wives and mothers.
		Angie did all the right things, according to the code of womanhood usually set forth in films: She sacrificed her career for the sake of her husband and child.
		Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman is a must-see for fans of Hayward or of Eddie Albert, who turns in a strong supporting performance.

	DVD Verdict Review - Susan Hayward Double Feature
		As Angie's insecurities lead her to become more and more dependent on alcohol, she may end up fulfilling her own fears by driving Ken away…and losing her baby daughter as well.
		Angie does what movies to this point have told us is the proper thing, but in giving up the self-respect that her career could have brought her, she has signed on for years of heartache.
		The film ends up sending some surprising messages: Husbands need to provide more than financial security for their wives; devoting oneself only to being a wife and mother may be damaging to a woman's emotional health; and maybe, just maybe, some women truly need careers.

		The magnificent Hayward again demonstrates her prowess in portraying alcoholics, this time in the true-life story of chanteuse and general party-girl, Lillian Roth.
		We begin with Lillian as a little girl, being trotted to all kinds of auditions by her scheming and manipulative stage mother, played by Van Fleet.
		She gets tossed out of all the classiest places, and wakes up in bed with a strange man -- even though they're both fully dressed and in twin beds.

		Susan Hayward stars as an up-and-coming nightclub singer who ditches her dreams to play homemaker for her radio-star husband (Lee Bowman); then, once his career takes off, an excess of luxury and an undiagnosed social anxiety disorder drives the poor woman to drink.
		Adventure-pic journeyman Stuart Heisler directs a script-by-committee (of which Dorothy Parker was a member) that drags the heroine through endless stages of degradation and then lays the blame on her spouse--a sure-fire women's picture strategy, combining the debasement of glamour with the skewering of men.
