Submarine Alert -- Submarine Alert

Faced with a career that is stalling out, unemployed actress and model Gladys Glover (Judy Holliday) puts all her money into renting a prominent Manhattan billboard that quickly brings her some much-needed exposure. Wanting the space for his new ad campaign, soap company executive Evan Adams III (Peter Lawford) proposes a trade, giving Gladys more billboard locations for her publicity campaign. Much to the dismay of her boyfriend, documentary filmmaker Pete Sheppard (Jack Lemmon), Gladys' popularity soars under the now-smitten Adams, who helps land the talk show appearances and commercials that make her name a household item. But after Pete bolts in disgust, in the end, Gladys realizes that he is the man she really wants to marry.

This classic Hollywood drama set in a Manhattan slum in the 1930s stars Humphrey Bogart as gangster Baby Face Martin, who returns to his old neighborhood, is spurned by his mother (Marjorie Main) and becomes a bad influence on the neighborhood kids. Working from a script penned by Lillian Hellman, William Wyler directs this adaptation of Sidney Kingsley's hit Broadway play. Claire Trevor, Sylvia Sidney and Joel McCrea co-star.
