A Roda da Fortuna
07/08/1953
Tony Hunter, um famoso astro de cinema cantor/dançarino, está se sentindo esquecido e menosprezado. Os repórteres estão querendo de Ava Gardner, não ele. Mas seus velhos amigos Lily e Les Martin tem uma ideia para um pequeno show engraçado na Broadway e ele concorda em fazer. Mas as coisas começam a ficar fora de controle, quando o Big Shot "artístico", o diretor / produtor / estrela Jeffrey Cordova junta-se à produção, proclama que é um Fausto modernista e insiste na contratação de uma bailarina, Gabrielle Gerard, para estrelar ao lado de Tony, e... é ódio em primeira vista. E seu coreógrafo ciumento não está ajudando a aliviar a tensão. O show está condenado por ser pretensioso. Mas o romance, uma epifania "vamos fazer um show", e uma abertura triunfal estão esperando. Afinal de contas, esta é uma comédia musical!
