Oh Boo, 7 September 2007
3/10
Author: stoneyburke from United States

Bear in mind that I adore B. Stanwyck and R. Taylor but what can I say positive regarding this movie?! I had not seen this before (was Fate saving me?) so I set my DVR to copy this movie. Well insomnia and curiosity had me not wait till the film copied. Oh Woe...what a boor. Kindly read the other's comments for the supposed plot and then return to read my disappointments..No worry of Spoilers here 'for how long was a movie-addict supposed to watch? Robert Taylor was darling looking but when he gets into his light humorous act, he's downright bordering on embarrassing. Cute doesn't even save his acting. Ms Stanwyck tried but....Hey, perhaps a bad script, I don't know but I hope this goes back into "The Can" and not seen for about 500 years!
