Vicki Lynn, a supermodel whose face is everywhere, is murdered. Ed Cornell of homicide takes the case personally, and as the investigation goes on the story of how a waitress was turned into a star comes out. Harry Horner's 1953 film is a nearly scene for scene remake of I Wake Up Screaming from 1941, itself adapted from Steve Fisher's novel. Jeanne Crain, Jean Peters and Richard Boone play it.
