A Life of Her Own

1950 NR 1h 48m 6.2

A girl from Kansas arrives in New York City to become a model. Her further success brings her before moral choice.

Small-town Kansas girl Lily James is the latest model working for the Thomas Callaway Agency in New York City. Despite her small-town roots, Lily is streetwise because of her tough growing-up experiences, so she is a good judge of character. She believes she can escape her troubles through professional success. Because of her hard work ethic, she quickly rises to the top of her profession. She attracts the attention of Steve Harleigh, a wealthy copper-mine owner and they fall in love, despite the facts that he lives and works--and has a wife--in Montana. Steve feels guilty about his marital infidelity as his wife Nora is physically disabled from a car accident that was his fault. Lily must decide if her own happiness is worth destroying the life of a woman--an invalid--she's never met.
