A young author who believes he can write a great American novel falls in love with a beautiful young dancing girl. The two live together in bohemian Greenwich Village, although the woman aspires to have a conventional marriage. His book is little more than self-absorbed and pretentious, much like his character. His behavior drives the girl away, and he takes up with an idle rick girl. His former live-in lover is pregnant and seeks an abortion in the wake of the breakup, leading to tragedy. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
