This was an ok movie about the life of Diana Barrymore. Since she's a Barrymore and the daughter of John Barrymore she gets an acting career. She gets to know the father that abandoned her (Errol Flynn) and forms a relationship with him. After his death she follows his ways and becomes an alcoholic. Diana would write an autobiography of her life which is the basis for this movie. However, two years after this movie she killed herself. I wish that her movie "Nightmare" would get released. None of her movies are on DVD but this is the one where her performance is most praised on imdb.com. The only problem I had with the movie was that Dorothy Malone, the actress who plays Diana Barrymore, is way too old to play a teenage girl. It isn't towards the end that the age meets the part. Dorothy does do a good job though.
