Manhattan Cocktail

Nov 24, 1928

Nancy Carroll stars in Manhattan Cocktail as Babs, a college coed who dreams of becoming a famous actress.

The winsome threesome are quickly disillusioned by the heartless machinations of nasty producer Renov (Paul Lukas) and his harridan wife (Lilyan Tashman). Before the plot proper gets under way, the audience is regaled with a cute "mythological" prologue, featuring the same three leading actors. Manhattan Cocktail was a silent picture, except for two brief musical numbers showcasing Nancy Carroll.
