Vivian Leigh stars as a ballerina in war-torn England who turns to prostitution when she believes her fiance has died in the war in this drama based on Robert E. Sherwood’s play.
Academy Award winner Vivien Leigh stars as a ballet dancer who finds her greatest happiness and deepest sorrow, her life and her death on London’s Waterloo Bridge. Returning from the front during World War II, Captain Roy Cronin (Robert Taylor) remembers the woman he loved. Myra Lester (Leigh–Gone With the Wind), a corps de ballet dancer stole the heart of the wealthy officer, and the two planned to marry. But when Myra misses a performance to say good-bye to Roy as he goes away to fight, she loses her job with the ballet. And then hearing that Roy has been killed in battle, Myra is left penniless and alone–and descends into a life depending on the kindness of gentlemen who frequent the bridge, a dependency that takes everything from her in this heart-wrenching romance.
