Morning Glory is a 1933 pre-Code American drama film which tells the story of an eager but unstable would-be actress whose good looks draw more attention than her acting. It stars Katharine Hepburn, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Adolphe Menjou.
The movie was adapted by Howard J. Green from the play by Zoe Akins. It was directed by Lowell Sherman.
Katharine Hepburn won her first Academy Award for Best Actress for this movie.
Morning Glory was remade as Stage Struck in 1958.
Eva Lovelace, would-be actress trying to crash the New York stage, is a wildly optimistic chatterbox full of theatrical mannerisms. Her looks, more than her talent, attract the interest of a paternal actor, a philandering producer, and an earnest playwright. Is she destined for stardom or the "casting couch"? Will she fade after the brief blooming of a "morning glory"? Written by Rod Crawford
