This obscure film has a tragic double link with one of Hollywood's best known films about itself: È nata una stella (1937). Director Tom Forman (1893-1926) and John Bowers (1885-1936) both died by their own hand when their careers declined. Forman's death allegedly inspired Adela Rogers St. Johns's story for A che prezzo Hollywood? (1932) about an alcoholic director on the skids. 4 years later WPF was adapted as È nata una stella (1937) in which fictional actor Norman Maine's suicide by drowning was allegedly inspired by out of work actor John Bowers - who killed himself in the same manner in Nov 1936 after pleading with Henry Hathaway for a part in his then current production.
