Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Joan Crawford is playing a most troubled lady, and giving a sincere and generally effective characterization of same.
Rotten: All this is good melodrama and fair entertainment, but it is much closer to the waltz-time schmalz of Kathleen Norris than to the fox-trot brass of James M. Cain.
Fresh: A class feature, showmanly produced by Jerry Wald and tellingly directed by Michael Curtiz.
Fresh: The archetypal Joan Crawford movie.
