Once again, Ida Lupino shines in an understated, yet evocative role. She can do anything, from this to high glamor in "The Man I Love" or "The Hard Way." The story is interesting and showcases Dane Clark, who was a rising star then - holding his own with Ida here as he did with Bette Davis in "A Stolen Life". The rest of the supporting cast is also excellent, from the great Fay Bainter and Henry Hull to Wayne Morris.
I wonder what color would have done for this film, but it's good anyway. Again, thank God for TCM and now it's on WB archive video DVD, in a no frills package, but good enough. Jean Negulesco gives it a vibrant, professional treatment.
And, as always, Max Steiner's score puts the icing on the cake.
