Ruth Etting and Moe Snyder Drama to be Made

Paul Schrader is set to write the script for Torch. A drama about the obsessive relationship between singer Ruth Etting and Chicago bootlegger Moe Snyder. Etting arrived in Chicago from Nebraska at age 17 with aspirations to sew costumes and sing in the chorus of stage shows during the Roaring '20s. There she met and married Snyder, who had the connections necessary to make her a star. When she left him, Snyder shot Etting's piano-playing boyfriend. The sensational trial that followed ruined her career and put Snyder behind bars.Source: Variety

Doris Day looks nothing like Ruth Etting and does not sing like her. James Cagney looks nothing like Snyder neither. I am refering to the movie 'Love me or leave me'.
