One of the worst Barbara Stanwyck movies I have ever seen, and I have seen quite a few of them, since I'm a big fan of hers. This movie made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.
First, the storyline is so uninteresting and mundane, by the time the main character gets around to committing the "crime of passion," all the reasons for committing it have gone up in smoke. It is too late to do the deed, but then it makes as much sense as the rest of the movie does.
Secondly, the movie was just plodding and uninteresting. I suppose there were 3 or 4 lines of social commentary that made sense but as a whole, this movie was so jumbled, I could not make sense of it as a viewer. I now wonder what the point of watching it was, since it did not have anything that caught my interest.
Even one of Barbara's less-than-wonderful movies, "The Moonlighter" made more sense than this mess.
Not one of Barbara's better movies and thus not recommended.
