7/10
Better-than-average melodrama

Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS***

I truly enjoyed when Paul (Peck) finally stood up to Louise (Tandy). We know it's coming, of course, but he does it so well.

Another nice scene: Connie (Hunt) is trying to sneak out to see her beau, but Mary (Garson) keeps stopping her. Connie warns: "I'm starting to get very angry!" And Mary replies: "Well ye'd better be quick catchin' up, 'cause I'm already there!" (or something like that).

Very nice performances: Barrymore chewing the scenery ... Crisp granting concessions to the unions, but still standing up for his belief of paying any man who'd work hard ... Peck, as usual, standing tall ... Garson being Garson.

Comfortably predictable, but still effectively moving.
