Originally produced in the United States as a motion picture in 1933
At the turn of the century, a beautiful show girl marries a man from the upper classes in New York, and they live in a house on 56th Street where they have a child. They are happy until she is falsely accused of murdering her former lover, and sent to prison. Her husband is killed in World War I. When she gets out of prison, she goes to work for Bonelli, a New York politician who has opened a gambling house in the house on 56th Street. There she encounters her daughter, and tries to save her from following in her mother's footsteps
