"The Leading Ladies Collection, Volume 2" includes: "A Big Hand For The Little Lady" - As the biggest high-stake poker game in the West begins, compulsive gambler turned homesteader, Meredith, is drawn into the game.

As she plays the hand, she assails her rivals with fortitude and guts. Each is transformed into a model of sensitivity. But a twist ending reveals Mary has had more than fortitude up her sleeve all along. "I'll Cry Tomorrow" - Susan Hayward gives a stunning, Oscar-nominated portrayal as Broadway's Lillian Roth in this true story of an alcoholic's wretched decline and her eventual, courageous recovery.
