Smash-Up: the story of a woman (1947) starring Susan Hayward, Lee Bowman, Eddie Albert

In Smash-Up, a nightclub singer seeks refuge in alcohol which drive away her husband and child. With the help of her husband, she overcomes her addiction. One of Hayward's best performances. This was her breakthrough role after a decade in Hollywood, and it deservedly earned her her first Academy Award Nomination for Best Actress.
