THE GIRL IN THE RED VELVET SWING

“THE RISE - THE FALL of the most beautiful Floradora chorine from penniless model to mistress of $40,000,000”

Broadway showgirl Evelyn Nesbit is the object of affection of two men: playboy architect Stanford White and the wealthy but unstable Harry Thaw. Nesbit marries Thaw, but White’s continued pursuit puts him in the path of Thaw’s volatile temper. A fictionalized account of true events that occurred at the turn of the 20th century.
