Sinossi
When success is everything, how far will one man go to have it all? Born into poverty and yearning for something more, Clyde Griffiths is a young man consumed by ambition. When he lands a job at a prestigious company and meets the beautiful, high-society Sondra Finchley, he believes he's finally found his path to wealth and status. But there's one problem: Roberta, the factory girl he left behind… and her inconvenient pregnancy.
